Programs

PhD

Linguistics (Ph.D.)

Offered by: Linguistics (Faculty of Arts)
Degree: Doctor of Philosophy

Program Description

The Ph.D. in Linguistics provides training in the fundamentals of theoretical and experimental linguistics. The program culminates in the preparation of a thesis, which is written under the direction of a supervisory committee, and which is expected to constitute original scholarship and be a distinct contribution to knowledge.

Thesis

A thesis for the doctoral degree must constitute original scholarship and must be a distinct contribution to knowledge. It must show familiarity with previous work in the field and must demonstrate ability to plan and carry out research, organize results, and defend the approach and conclusions in a scholarly manner. The research presented must meet current standards of the discipline; as well, the thesis must clearly demonstrate how the research advances knowledge in the field. Finally, the thesis must be written in compliance with norms for academic and scholarly expression and for publication in the public domain.

Required Courses (6 credits)

Note: LING 706 Ph.D. Evaluation 1. and LING 707 Ph.D. Evaluation 2. must be completed before proceeding to thesis research.

Indigenous Language Revitalization

McGill offers Ad Hoc MA and PhD programs in Indigenous Language Revitalization for members of communities whose languages are threatened. These programs are designed to provide research concepts, methods, and skills that will help graduates in their efforts to contribute to the maintenance, documentation, and revitalization of their communities' language through interdisciplinary approaches. The ad hoc nature of the program allows students to create a tailored program of study by combining relevant graduate-level courses from different disciplines according to their individual strengths and interests. Successful applicants will have a native speaker's knowledge of an Indigenous language of the Americas or Pacific, or a demonstrated commitment to learning it as a second language, as well as demonstrated interest and capacity in the scholarly and practical work related to language revitalization.

Interested applicants should contact Graduate Program Director, jessica.coon [at] mcgill.ca (Professor Jessica Coon), for more information.

Language Acquisition Program (PhD)

Interdisciplinary Language Acquisition Program (LAP)

Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Linguistics: Language Acquisition

For more information see the Handbook

Qualifying Year

Applicants whose application files show strong evidence for truly outstanding potential despite a lack of background in linguistics may be considered for admission to a Qualifying Year (QY). Several students have successfully used this program to transition into the field of linguistics from other fields (e.g., from Math, or Political Science). The QY in Linguistics is very small and very selective - we typically admit no more than one QY student per year, and sometimes none.

The application procedure for the Qualifying Year is the same as for our M.A. and Ph.D. program, with an application deadline that is usually in early December, to be admitted for the fall term of the following year. We do not offer funding for the QY.

The Qualifying year permits students to make up the gaps in their background by taking appropriate undergraduate courses. Students in the QY will normally be required to take the following undergraduate courses: Phonetics (LING 330), Phonology I (LING 331), Syntax I (LING 371), Introduction to Semantics (LING 360), Morphology (LING 440), plus three other courses.

Students typically take a QY in order to apply for a M.A. or a Ph.D, program in Linguistics in the following year. Admission to the QY does not automatically guarantee subsequent admission to our M.A. or Ph.D. program.
