The PhD in Linguistics, Language Documentation and Revitalization will help students to generate a record of a language by investigating its structural properties and its role in the culture. As well, this four-year program will train PhD researchers working with endangered language communities to develop the tools and skills necessary to help maintain and promote their language and culture. Students will apply their linguistic knowledge in documentation projects involving classifying, annotating and analyzing linguistics data, and/or in creating materials to be used by the linguistic community in maintaining and revitalizing their language.
