Program details
Overview
Linguistics is an Honours Specialization offered by the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at Western University, requiring 9.0 courses beyond first year. The module opens with two core courses, Linguistics 2247A/B and 2248A/B, then draws on electives grouped into formal approaches to language such as syntax, phonology and semantics, taught across Linguistics, Anthropology, Philosophy, Psychology and language departments including French and Spanish, alongside a social-aspects-of-language stream and a language-course requirement chosen in consultation with the program's co-directors. Cross-listed options from Anthropology, Communication Sciences and Disorders, English, Classical Studies and Indigenous Studies extend the discipline into language structure, acquisition, variation and use in society. Enrolment in the module is limited, and admission requires consultation with the co-directors before entry. Graduates complete an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree with a specialization in Linguistics.
