Linguistics and Communication Track

Undergraduate English majors at UD may decide to take courses mainly in linguistics in the final year of the B.A. Program. Students may choose the Linguistics and Communication Track in the spring semester of the second year of their undergraduate studies.
As a student of this track, you will study language from different perspectives, including research in the fields of syntax, semantics, child language, computational linguistics, sociolinguistics and second language acquisition. You will also be encouraged to seek out opportunities to conduct research with faculty, participate in various talent management programs and engage in the rich academic and social life of our department.
