Overview
Department of Linguistics graduate programs emphasize theory and research. Students interested in non-university careers also may take courses in applied linguistics and other fields as an option in the M.A. program.
Iowa's linguistics department has particular strengths in phonology, syntax, and second language acquisition (SLA). The master degree in Linguistics is offered by The University of Iowa.
The phonology curriculum emphasizes current theoretical perspectives, including optimality theory, and the collection, description, and interpretation of novel phonological and phonetic data. Courses feature extensive work in data analysis and problem solving, focusing on construction and evaluation of phonological theories, particularly in light of new empirical data.
Facilities
- The Department of Linguistics has a laboratory equipped with 20 computer workstations for small group instruction, individual work, and student research in speech analysis, second language acquisition, computational linguistics, and other areas.
- The department also has a soundproof booth connected to a computer with software for speech analysis. Remote terminals and personal computers also are available to students.
- The departmental reading room, which contains a modest library, provides a common meeting place for faculty and students.
