The Linguistics Program and the French Graduate Program


We have coordinated the French M.A. and the Linguistics Ph.D. degrees in order to provide an integrated program in language, linguistics, and literature,and invite applications for the following two related degree programs:

(1) an M.A. in French with a concentration in French Linguistics, and
(2) a Ph.D. in Linguistics with a minor specialization in French Literature.

A person completing these two degrees will be well-trained in linguistic theory, French Linguistics, and French Literature, and will have teaching experience and familiarity with CALI (computer assisted language instruction). This degree program aims to produce scholars in the area of French Language and Linguistics who would fit well in a department of foreign (or French) Language and Literature.

Applicants for the M.A. in French should have the equivalent of a major in French. The degree involves four graduate courses in French Literature, one graduate survey of Linguistics, three courses in French Linguistics, a comprehensive exam, and a thesis. Students in this program will be supported through teaching assistantships in French. It is anticipated that a student completing this degree will go on to pursue the Ph.D. in Linguistics as outlined below. Individuals interested in applying to the M.A. program in French should contact:

James Day, Graduate Advisor for French
Dept. of Languages, Literatures, & Cultures
University of South Carolina

Applicants for the Ph.D. in Linguistics should hold an M.A. (or the equivalent) in French and/or Linguistics. The degree requirements include seven core courses in linguistic theory (phonology, syntax, etc.), a four course specialization in some subdiscipline of Linguistics (e.g. historical linguistics, second language acquisition, sociolinguistics), and a four course secondary specialization in French Literature. A student in this program will be supported through a combination of teaching assistantships in French, assistantships in the Foreign Language Learning Center (language lab), and research assistantships. Individuals interested in applying to the Ph.D. program in Linguistics should contact:
