Graduate Study
in
Psycholinguistics
Several programs at the University of Arizona
support psycholinguistics, with both child
and adult populations. Most psycholinguistics
students are in Linguistics; Psychology;
Second Language Acquisition & Teaching;
or Speech, Language & Hearing Sciences.
These and other units offer a broad spectrum
of courses and interdisciplinary research
opportunities for the study of language
learning and language processing. See section
III.C. of the Linguistics Department’s
Graduate Handbook for a list of resources,
facilities, and labs, most of which are
associated with psycholinguistics. Students
interested in this area of study are strongly
encouraged to apply.
