Linguistics of a First Nations Language MA

2 Years On Campus Masters Program

Simon Fraser University Burnaby

Program Overview

Students of linguistics examine the structure, use, acquisition, and development of the languages of the world. They aim to identify both those elements that are common to all human languages (spoken and signed) and the ways in which languages and dialects can differ from one another. An undergraduate degree in linguistics offers excellent training for a wide variety of careers, including translation, interpreting, teaching, publishing, national security, international affairs, forensics, or medicine, and for graduate study in linguistics or related fields (such as anthropology, law, philosophy, psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, computer science, or speech and hearing sciences).
