Linguistic Anthropology

Linguistic Anthropology is concerned with two related fields of study: the study of communication in cultural contexts and the linguistic analysis of particular (usually non-Indo-European) languages. Linguistic anthropologists at UBC conduct research relating to First Nations languages, oral traditions, literacy, the use of digital media, and acoustic ecology. Students who wish to pursue studies in this field can take advantage of the graduate courses in linguistics offered by the Department of Linguistics at UBC, as well as courses in socio-cultural anthropology offered in the Department of Anthropology and Sociology. Students of linguistic anthropology are able to develop a program of studies tailored to suit their research interests.
