Linguistics is the analysis of languages - from structure, how and why they change, to the way we learn and our unique way of speaking. By understanding how language is a part of everything we do, you can better understand how communication shapes our identity, relationships, and way of life. Study Involve: Opportunity to learn from research conducted here at UC. UC offers many language studies to complement Linguistics, such as Te Reo Maori, Chinese, Russian, and Japanese.
