Subject: Re: Query about Language Concentrations in English Depts.
I have not been following this thread, I'm sorry to say, but Georgia has
its Linguistics Program housed primarily in English, and graduates MA and
PhD students with degrees in Linguistics. English Language is one of the
Ph.D. areas within English proper (not necessarily proper English---that's
for the highbrows), and we regularly graduate students on a "language
track" at the MA level. Undergraduate English majors don't get anything
special for taking several language-oriented courses; undergraduate
Linguistics majors can take both theory and more philological courses.
Regards, Bill
