<p>Cognitive Science & Linguistics is much more common @ JHU. Many students do research in language acquisition:</p>
<p>[Cognitive</a> Science Research / JHU](<a href=“Cognitive Science | Johns Hopkins University”>Cognitive Science | Johns Hopkins University)</p>
<p>“Research in this area addresses foundational issues in the nature and development of human cognition. Studies on language acquisition address the nature of linguistic universals, and their interaction with learning mechanisms which produce language-specific acquisitions. Studies on cognitive development address the nature of human spatial, visual, and conceptual representations, and how core representations in these areas interact with learning mechanisms to enhance, sharpen, and/or change representations.”</p>
