我们的课程旨在向学生介绍语言分析并积极地参与其中。他们还使学生了解世界语言的多样性。不需要或假定没有广泛的外语背景。该部门的入门课程不以该领域的背景知识为前提。通过MBB选择语言学的学生可以将语言学，思想，大脑和行为方面的高级课程组合在一起，从而满足非教程课程的其余要求。MBB相关课程的示例通常包括由哲学系（例如，语言哲学），心理学系（例如，认知神经心理学）和计算机科学系（例如，自然语言处理）提供的课程。
Our courses aim to introduce students to linguistic analysis and actively engage them in it. They also expose students to the great diversity found in the languages of the world. An extensive foreign language background is not required or assumed. The department's introductory courses presuppose no prior background in the field. Students who choose Linguistics with Mind, Brain, and Behavior (MBB) meet the remainder of the non-tutorial course requirement by taking a combination of more advanced courses on linguistics or on mind, brain, and behavior. Examples of MBB-related courses typically include courses offered by the philosophy department (e.g., Philosophy of Language), by the psychology department (e.g., Cognitive Neuropsychology), and by the computer science department (e.g., Natural Language Processing).
