Welcome

Welcome to the University of Washington Linguistics Department home page. Our department is located within the College of Arts and Sciences, and offers degrees in General Linguistics and Romance Linguistics at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The department's primary interests lie strongly in grammatical theory (syntax, phonology and semantics), and in phonetics, sociolinguistics, computational linguistics, and second language acquisition theory.
