What will I learn in the MA in Linguistics with a concentration in Language and Communication (MLC)?
You’ll learn that language has a profound impact on our lives: it influences how we act, who we are, and how we view the world. It is through language that we accomplish a great deal of our daily work: we formulate plans, present proposals, negotiate contracts, develop brands, resolve disputes, provide advice, diagnose problems, hold meetings, and provide social, legal, and commercial services. In today’s workplace, however, people with different ways of using language (based on nationality, ethnicity, race, class, gender, region, age, and culture) often work together in what are frequently fast paced and multi-tasking environments. Sometimes they end up misunderstanding one another or making mistakes that can have unfortunate consequences. You’ll learn that one way we can try to avoid these problems is to learn more about language and its role in communication.
