The Linguistics PhD specialization stands out due to faculty members' diverse expertise spanning phonology, syntax, morphology, sociolinguistics (particularly American English dialects), literary linguistics, and the evolution of English. This program enables students to expand their linguistic knowledge across multiple languages such as American English, historical English forms, Korean, and Japanese. Given linguistics' interdisciplinary nature, the program benefits from faculty collaborations across the English Department and various other academic units throughout the university.
