 The Comparative Literature Program allows its graduate
students to have a minor specialization in place of a third national
literature, and the minor in Linguistics is designed to provide
such an option. A minor in Linguistics would be of particular
benefit to a comparativist who is pursuing a specialization in theoretical
approaches to language and literature, and would enable the student
to expand his/her teaching profile to include courses in language
study and general linguistics. For a student concentrating
in a particular national literature (e.g. French, German, or Spanish),
a minor in Linguistics would provide a vehicle for gaining expertise
in the linguistic analysis of a particular language or group of
languages.
Although the minor specialization requirement for Comparative Literature students only requires 2 graduate courses in the discipline, students pursuing a Linguistics minor are strongly encouraged to consider taking LING 600 Survey of Linguistics BEFORE AND IN ADDITION TO two other LING courses. In a few cases, LING 600 is a prerequisite to courses in the minor. In all cases, the student who has had LING 600 will be better prepared for the other courses in the minor. LING 600 is offered every Fall semester.
