Overview
The PhD in Linguistics at McGill University, offered by the Department of Linguistics in the Faculty of Arts, is a research-intensive program covering theoretical, experimental, and computational linguistics, quantitative methods, linguistic fieldwork, language acquisition, sociolinguistics, and psycholinguistics.
