Linguistics is the scientific study of all forms of human language. It is a search for the patterns of sound, word-form, phrase structure, and meaning that underlie the languages we use. The linguistics program is taught by faculty members in a variety of areas within the University. The Department of Indian Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics, SIFC (including the three full-time Linguistics faculty) offers a large number of courses; other linguistics courses are offered by the Faculties of Arts and Education.
The general requirements for degrees in the Faculty of Arts are described on page 76.

Notes:
Because linguists concern themselves with the structure of language (rather than with learning to speak a language), most courses in linguistics do not require fluency in any second or third language, unless stated in the prerequisites. All linguistics majors are nonetheless encouraged to enrol in language courses beyond the basic BA degree language requirement.
Linguistics majors are advised to take LING 175 and at least one computer science course.
Linguistics majors are urged to take LING 210 before taking LING 211 or any courses in historical linguistics.
For the major and minor, the specified additional courses in linguistics may include the following courses offered by various departments. The descriptions of each should be read carefully for any prerequisites.
