A laboratory course offering students the opportunity for hands-on application of the general theories and methods of linguistics at the level of advanced undergraduate/beginning graduate training. The lab environment will generally involve both individual and small group work, developing both independent research skills and an ability to engage in collaborative linguistic investigation. May be repeated for credit under different topics.

Building upon the solid foundation in the broad principles of sociolinguistic inquiry developed in LIN/ANT/SOC 506, this course explores current theoretical debates in sociolinguistics by introducing a series of alternative frameworks, which may include paradigms like traditional Labovian sociolinguistics or the exploration of sociolinguistic concepts in social theory, and students will be responsible for assessing and critiquing each framework as presented. This course may require LIN 640 taken concurrently.

An increasingly important method in linguistic research relies on measuring some quantity, and inferring some linguistic reality based on such findings. This course presents scenarios where such an approach makes sense, and outlines the appropriate measures and the safest, most reliable ways in which such measures can be used to draw inferences.

This course allows students to undertake study of special topics in linguistics under faculty supervision. May be repeated to a maximum of six credits.
