Computational linguistics combines linguistic studies with computer science, utilizing AI and machine learning techniques to address language-related challenges. The Linguistics Ph.D. program at Penn encompasses diverse theoretical approaches and research methods, all united by a focus on rigorous formal analysis of human language acquisition and usage. While rooted in generative linguistics, our program fosters intellectual exchange between empirical observations and theoretical frameworks. Through partnerships with departments like computer science and psychology, we cultivate an interdisciplinary understanding of language. Alongside comprehensive foundational training, students specialize in specific linguistic domains, gaining expertise essential for meaningful academic discourse both within and beyond our program.
