Pearlmutter, Associate Professor and Program Director, n.pearlmutter@neu.edu Heather Littlefield, Associate Academic Specialist and Assistant Director, h.littlefield@neu.edu is the scientific study of human language. A growing and exciting field, it has links to diverse fields including cognitive psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, computer science, artificial intelligence, sociology, language teaching, anthropology, and education. is a key component of the emerging field of cognitive science, the study of the structure and functioning of human cognitive processes. How do children learn to speak? How is language represented in the mind? What do all languages, including sign languages, have in common? How is language different from the communication systems used by whales, bees, and chimpanzees? What linguistic information do computers need in order for us to converse with them? What are the neurological tie-ins of language disorders such as aphasia or Williams Syndrome and what can such impairments tell us about the brain mechanisms for language? These scientific and technological questions lead us to ask other questions about language and society: How might we think about linguistic controversies, including debates about official languages, Black English, gender bias, and bilingualism in education? attempts to answer each of these questions and covers a surprisingly broad range of topics related to language and communication. Cutting-edge work in cognitive science investigates how natural languages are learned and processed. Grammar checkers and translation programs use language parsers; search engines, browsers, and editors apply the results of linguistic theory and computational linguistics. is behind every application that recognizes or synthesizes speech. To work in a field that involves language in any way, you ll need to know how language works, the core of the field of linguistics. is an interdisciplinary program at Northeastern, offering courses in the theory and structure of language (such as syntax, phonology, and semantics); the sociocultural nature of language (such as language and culture, language and gender, and sociolinguistics); the psychology of language (offered by the Department of Psychology); and applications to related domains (such as language acquisition, language revitalization, and language creation) that cross into the humanities and social sciences.
