Our established graduate program in linguistics focuses on language documentation and language in use. These foci drive how we engage you with language and help you discover general, theoretically significant explanations for the range of structures that appear in the world's languages.

Graduates of our program have gone on to study linguistics at the doctoral level at premiere programs at Michigan State and the University of Georgia.

Your new faculty is internationally recognized leaders in field, socio, and corpus linguistics. These faculty conduct extensive field research on languages like Salishan languages spoken on the coast of Washington and British Columbia; Lamkang, a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in Manipur State, India; and Burushaski, a language isolate spoken in parts of Pakistan and India.

In addition to your classes, connect with your new linguistics community outside of the classroom. Participate in the "Linguistics Circles," informal discussion groups of current language issues or join the Student Linguistics Association of North Texas, our student organization devoted to our like-minded interests in language. Finally, attend our popular colloquium series, which has featured speakers like John Swales, Dan Everett, and Sali Tagliamonte.
