The Linguistics and Anthropology major combines the basic courses of the general linguistics program with that of anthropology, the study of humankind. Students will learn linguistic theory, the study of the structure of human language generally. They will also learn the many ways in which language affects human history, social identity, social interaction, and politics. Successful graduates will be well acquainted with linguistic structure, language diversity, and language typology, as well as the anthropological and social consequences of the nature of human language.
