人类学哲学博士：语言人类学

语言是（甚至不是）人类的一种能力。语言人类学家不仅关注语言的声音，含义和结构，还关注语言的获取和丧失方式以及人们在社会环境中的使用方式（有时也称为语言人种志）。人类学语言学课程旨在训练学生掌握现代语言分析和描述技术，同时让他们了解人类语言使用中的多样性和普遍性。学生将熟悉真实的语言数据，同时建立理论框架，在其中评估形式分析，语言和社交模型中的知识和技能。
Language is a, if not the, particularly human ability. Linguistic anthropologists are concerned with not only the sound, meaning, and structure of language, but also how it is acquired and lost and how people use it in social contexts (sometimes known as the ethnography of speaking). The program in anthropological linguistics is designed to train the student in modern techniques of language analysis and description, while providing exposure to the elements of diversity and universality in human language use. The student gains familiarity with real language data, at the same time developing theoretical frameworks within which to evaluate this knowledge and skills in formal analysis, language, and social modeling.
