MIT Department of Linguistics and Philosophy

The MIT Department of Linguistics and Philosophy studies how language works, including its structure, meaning, and use, as well as its connections to human thought and reasoning. It combines insights from linguistics, philosophy, computer science, and cognitive science to understand language's nature and its role in communication and knowledge. The department offers education and research opportunities to explore topics like grammar, semantics, language acquisition, and logic, aiming to uncover how language shapes our understanding of the world and how we can model and analyze it systematically.
