Berkeley Linguistics Graduate Students

Berkeley Linguistics Graduate Students are individuals pursuing advanced degrees at the University of California, Berkeley, specializing in the scientific study of language. They explore how languages are structured, how they develop, and how people use them in communication. These students often engage in research, teaching, and coursework to deepen understanding of phonetics, syntax, semantics, and sociolinguistics. Their goal is to contribute to the academic field of linguistics through original research, with applications ranging from language preservation to improving communication technologies. As students, they also train to become educators, scholars, or professionals in related fields.
