Overview

It is an interdisciplinary PhD that combines theoretical linguistics (investigating structural properties of language) and applied linguistics (working with language as part of culture and community).

Features

Students in the Linguistics, Language Documentation and Revitalization program from Carleton University will apply their linguistic knowledge in documentation projects involving classifying, annotating and analyzing linguistics data, and/or in creating materials to be used by the linguistic community in maintaining and revitalizing their language.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Carleton is located in Ottawa, the nation’s capital and a bilingual, multicultural centre of government, education, health care, and the headquarters for many non-profit organizations.

This makes it an ideal site for the study of advanced linguistics.

Our connections to these organizations provide our students with teaching and research opportunities during their program and with career options once they graduate.
