Program Overview

Linguistics is the scientific study of human language. It attempts to answer fundamental questions such as, What is language? How does it work? How is it represented in the mind? What features do all human languages share in common? How do languages change over time?

Within universities, linguistics is often grouped together with other social and behavioral sciences such as anthropology and sociology. However, the concerns of linguistics also overlap with those of English, philosophy, and other humanities, with certain physical sciences such as acoustics, and computer science. And because language is ultimately situated in the brain, linguistics is sometimes considered one of the "cognitive sciences," along with psychology, philosophy, and artificial intelligence.

The linguistics faculty at SJSU offers expertise in many areas within linguistics, including

  • Computational linguistics (computer processing of language)
  • Morphology and syntax (the structure of words and sentences)
  • Phonetics and phonology (the sounds of language)
  • Psycholinguistics (language and the brain)
  • Semantics (meaning)
  • Sociolinguistics (language and society)
