| The UCLA Linguistics Department is one of the world's leading centers
for the scientific study of language. The expertise of the
faculty
includes the traditional core areas of phonetics, phonology, syntax, and
semantics, as well as the interdisciplinary fields of psycholinguistics,
language acquisition, and mathematical linguistics. The faculty also include
specialists in African and Native American languages. The
UCLA
Phonetics Laboratory and the
UCLA
Psycholinguistics Laboratory are located in the department.
About 10 students per year are admitted to the department's highly selective graduate program, which maintains a strong national ranking. The department also offers a rigorous and comprehensive undergraduate major, and teaches the fundamentals of linguistics to a large fraction of the UCLA undergraduates as part of the campus's general education program.
