A
minor in Linguistics for Experimental
Psychology Ph.D. students
The Experimental Psychology program
does not require its Ph.D. students to have a course-based
minor, and does not have a formal minor in Linguistics. However,
in contemplating a minor in this field, the following courses (or
some subset of them) would be of use to an Experiemental Psychology
Ph.D. student who desires to obtain a foundation in the analysis
of language and attain a level of competence in linguistic units
of analysis. If a student decides to pursue a course-based
minor, the options laid out below should provide a helpful guide
as to which courses will be the most relevant. If the student
decides against incorporating course-work into their minor, then
it would be useful for the student to apprise him/herself of the
content of some of these courses.
