Our graduate program creates a dynamic setting for exploring French as both a native and second language (L2), along with French as a minority language (like Louisiana French) and minority languages within France (including Picard, Breton, and Occitan). Specialized instruction in French syntax, semantics, morphology, and phonology delivers distinctive insights into grammatical structures and their connections with other cognitive systems.
