Program Faculty

 

The Linguistics faculty at the University of Mississippi is made up of professors with a diversity of geographical and institutional backgrounds, holding advanced degrees from distinguished universities throughout the United States. The members of the Linguistics program teach primarily in other departments but have come together as members of an interdisciplinary program. Though research and service are part of their concerns, the teaching of undergraduate students has the strong and enthusiastic commitment of all involved departments.
