Linguistics is the scientific study of human language. Linguists explore language structure, language variation, language change, the development of language, as well as the psychology and biology of language.

Memorial has the only linguistics department in Atlantic Canada. Our students actively participate in faculty research and have access to facilities such as the Speech Sciences and Language Acquisition Lab and the Indigenous Languages Laboratory and Archive.
