Students' Resources & Archives: Linguistics
The English Department of the University of Puerto Rico at Río Piedras offers an M.A. and a Ph.D. program in Linguistics. The Department has specialists in all the important facets of the exciting field of linguistics, and graduate students benefit from faculty research interests in areas such as Creole Studies, Language Acquisition, Ethnography of Speaking, Bilingualism, Sociolinguistics, Phonology, Syntax, Language Typology, Language Planning, and Historical Linguistics.
In addition, the Department's Ph.D. program brings in leading scholars in Linguistics to give special presentations and workshops. Another important event is the 'Islands in Between Conference' that is held each fall on a different island in the Eastern Caribbean. The English Department also publishes Sargasso, a journal of Caribbean Language and Literature in which linguistics articles regularly appear.
For the requirements for Admissions, Graduation, Program of Study, Comprehensive Exams, and Thesis, please click on the links to go to the appropriate pages of the Graduate Program on this site.
Here you'll find web resources for linguistics. The sites are categorized as General resources, Programs, Indexes and Databases for Linguistics Research, sites useful for students of Linguistics and a separate listing of sites which provide Study Aids and Tutorials for linguistics students, Winter/Summer Schools of Linguistics for students looking for intensive training outside this Department, as well as Associations and Organizations of linguistics and applied linguistics, and Journals related to linguistics and applied linguistics. There is also a section that lists the Linguistics Conferences that our Department participates in.
