Linguistics is at the intersection of many disciplines; therefore, core faculty members are drawn from the School of Liberal Arts (Anthropology, French, Spanish, Philosophy, etc.) and the School of Science and Engineering (Neuroscience, Psychology). Tulane has a long and distinguished traditional record in leading in-depth study of Mesoamerican languages and Louisiana Pidgins and Creoles. In addition, we are gaining excellent reputation for our work in theoretical linguistics and African languages, as well as fieldwork, language documentation, and revitalization. Our program stands out as a center for the linguistic study of a variety of less-commonly-taught languages, many of which are made available through our collaboration with the Fulbright Language Teaching Assistant program.
