The UGA Linguistics department congratulates Zahin Hoque on his receipt of a research award from UGA CURO (Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities). Only 500 of UGA’s 30,000 undergraduate students are awarded the $1,000 scholarship. Awardees will actively engage in faculty-facilitated research, and all recipients are strongly encouraged to present their work at UGA’s spring CURO Symposium. 

This summer, Ph.D. student Meg Fletcher participated in a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to study Zulu in South Africa for 8 weeks. 

The HUMANITIES@WORK speaker event will highlight four folks with careers at UGA who started out as humanities majors. This panel will take place on Wednesday, October 11th at 3 p.m. in the Park Hall Auditorium (room 265). This free event is the first in a series that will take place every October.

This year's speakers include:

Alan Flurry, Director of Communications in the Franklin College at UGA

Welcome new and returning students! We hope that your summer was enriching and that you had a great first day of the school year. 

As the Fall 2023 semester gets started, the Linguistics department wants to recognize all the things and people that helped to make our department better and who made achievements with us in the last year.

Psycholinguistics is the study of how language is used and represented in the mind, and how other cognitive capacities support language processing. Neurolinguistics is the study of how the brain enables representation and processing of language. Both fields use experimental and statistical techniques from psychology and neuroscience.
