Ohio State’s PhD in Linguistics trains students in formal theory, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, computational modeling, and language documentation. With strong interdisciplinary support and access to extensive corpora and labs, students analyze syntax, semantics, phonetics, and pragmatics across global languages. Graduates contribute to academia, tech, language preservation, and policy.
