Linguistics explores the scientific study of human language. It aims to identify what is essential in language, what can occur, and what cannot. While linguists examine the distinct features of specific languages, they also pursue universal linguistic traits that apply across all languages. The field of linguistics is structured around key areas: syntax (rules for sentence formation), morphology (word formation principles), semantics (meaning analysis), phonetics (speech sound examination), phonology (language sound patterns), historical linguistics (language evolution), sociolinguistics (language-society interactions), psycholinguistics, and neurolinguistics (brain's language processing). Faculty research spans diverse topics, such as syntax-semantics relationships, phonetics-phonology connections, language contact phenomena, linguistic evolution, urban language studies, and computational modeling of syntax.
NYU's Linguistics Department ranks among the leading programs globally, offering comprehensive study in phonetics/phonology, syntax, semantics, sociolinguistics, morphology, neurolinguistics, language learning, and computational linguistics.
