NYU’s PhD in Linguistics provides rigorous training in syntax, phonology, semantics, sociolinguistics, and language acquisition. Students conduct empirical and theoretical research on language structure, variation, and use across communities and contexts. Faculty support spans fieldwork, computational linguistics, and experimental design. Graduates contribute to academic research, education, and applied fields like AI, NLP, and speech technology.
