Overview
The Bachelor of Arts Degree in Linguistics is about human languages using interdisciplinary methodologies from the humanities and the social, natural, and mathematical sciences. You'll study sound systems (phonetics and phonology), on the relationship between form and meaning (morphology, syntax, and semantics), and on how languages change over time. You can expect to study English, but also languages like Cantonese, local First Nations languages, Latin, or Haitian Creole. Career opportunities include interpretation or translation, language teaching, communications, publishing, government, speech recognition, artificial intelligence, codes and code breaking, and others.
