The faculty of UWM Linguistics provide courses, research opportunities, and advising for students who wish to earn a doctoral degree. Students will join a collaborative community of scholars who use theoretical, empirical, and applied techniques to uncover the structure of language, and their training will prepare them for careers in academia, language education, or language technology.<br><br>Our program is particularly appropriate for students with research interests in syntax, semantics, phonetics, phonology, and second language acquisition, as well as ESL pedagogy. We offer exceptional facilities, with four dedicated linguistics laboratories available to students wishing to conduct experimental research. We organize regular reading groups as well as colloquium presentations by linguists from all over the world, and we pride ourselves on close mentoring relationships between students and advisors.
