Dear Colleague,

The Linguistics Program and the German Program at the University of
South Carolina are proud to announce a joint course of graduate study in
German and linguistics. It is unique in providing a background in
general linguistics as well as German linguistics and literature.
Completing an M.A. in German and a Ph.D. in Linguistics will prepare
students for positions in both German and language departments, which
call for a wide variety of skills in teaching, research, and language
program coordination. The course offerings in German and linguistics
include the following areas: German linguistics, German literature and
culture, theories and methods of textual analysis, second language
acquisition and teaching, historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, and
formal linguistics. A range of support in the form of teaching
assistantships, research assistantships, and fellowships is available to
qualified students.
