Psycholinguistics (focusing on language processing, development, and acquisition)
Theoretical Linguistics (exploring generative frameworks in phonology, morphology, and syntax)
Established in 1967, we form an integral part of Toronto's thriving academic network, collaborating with linguistic researchers across the University of Toronto and nearby institutions.
