Psychology and linguistics

专业详情

The Psychology and Linguistics major is designed to introduce students to fundamental aspects of the behavioral study of language, and in particular how an interdisciplinary approach to language from the psychological and linguistic perspectives inform language usage. The major is designed so that students receive introductory breadth in the study of both psychology and linguistics before focusing on the study of language and cognition.

After acquiring basic knowledge of the subject matter and methodologies from each discipline, students will take elective courses which focus on specific issues in language and cognition. The major will culminate in a semester of Directed Study in which students will engage in a supervised research project on a particular topic or issue within the domain of language and cognition.
