MIT Linguistics Department

The MIT Linguistics Department is part of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, dedicated to the scientific study of human language. It explores how languages are structured, how they are learned, and how they evolve, combining insights from various fields like psychology, computer science, and anthropology. Researchers aim to understand the universal patterns underlying all languages and develop theories about language's role in human cognition. The department offers cutting-edge programs for students and fosters multidisciplinary collaboration, advancing both theoretical understanding and practical applications such as language technology and artificial intelligence.
