Linguistics can trace its roots back to the ancient Sanskrit grammarians, and
the study of language is probably as old as language itself. However, the
twentieth century has produced an explosion in the scientific study of language.
As our understanding of the nature and structure of human language develops,
linguistics is becoming relevant to many other areas of research such as
Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence, Speech-Language Pathology, Audiology,
Psychology, and Philosophy.
On its own, linguistics represents an invaluable
key to the nature of the mind and the diverse elements of human culture;
as a tool, linguistics is unmatched in preparing one for the learning
and teaching of languages and for integrating language with technology.
The
Department offers programs in Linguistics, as well as combined programs
with language departments and with Philosophy, as shown in the Programs
of Study.
Part-time students should note that most of the summer and evening
courses available to them are offered on a rotating basis only. Consequently,
students wishing to take such courses should enroll in them at the
earliest
opportunity after completing the necessary prerequisites.
In addition
to the undergraduate curriculum within the Department of Linguistics, there
are courses relating to linguistics offered
in other
departments such as the language departments, Anthropology, Computer
Science, and Philosophy, and in the Cognitive Science and Artificial
Intelligence program.
Students seeking counselling and information should contact the
Undergraduate Coordinator, TBA, (416-978-1760).
