Ball State’s master of arts in linguistics empowers you to understand the scientific study of human language.
An important focus of linguistics is identifying properties common to languages through the study of linguistic structure (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics), and on understanding how languages change, how they are used by communities, and how they are acquired. As such, linguistics provides insight into both the structural and communicative properties of human language.
In analyzing linguistic structure and identifying patterns of language use, students apply this knowledge in an effort to better understand language use and language learning.
Throughout the MA program, you are exposed to linguistic structure and language use patterns of languages from around the world.
