<p>Hi everyone, </p>
<p>I would like to ask if anyone around knows how the Stanford Linguistics course fares in comparison with other universities?</p>
<p>How well-equipped is Stanford for this and do undergraduates get to utilize these resources?</p>
<p>Will appreciate any help whatsoever!</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Regards</p>
<p>I am a (soon-to-be) linguistics major (will probably declare sometime soon, along with math). Stanford linguistics was ranked #2 in the NRC ranking, behind MIT, though IMO Stanford linguistics is far better than MIT linguistics. Stanford has strength in all theoretical areas, as well as applied areas, whereas MIT’s strength is in theoretical linguistics.</p>
<p>Check the Stanford linguistics site. There are tons of labs, library resources, research internships (in which you’re paired with a professor), and more, all available to undergrads. Stanford’s easily one of the best schools for both undergrad and grad linguistics, and is probably the best in a few sub-areas of linguistics (like syntax).</p>

<p>Awesome to note phant!</p>
<p>I never knew about this distinction between MIT and Stanford Linguistics! I was previously wondering which should be my first choice, but I think you’ve made Stanford a lot more appealing now =)</p>
<p>I also have a strong inclination towards neuro- and psycholinguistics. Do you know if Stanford is particularly strong in these areas? I know that your Psych department is one of the best in the country. Is there a strong interdepartmental relations that works on this area? Also, unlike many other top universities, it does not offer a cognitive/brain sciences undergrad degree; and its neuro department seems heavily inclined towards medical/health research. So I was wondering if you could shed a little more light on these areas please?</p>
<p>If you do not mind, perhaps we can PM please? I promise I won’t take up too much of your time! Thank you very very much again!</p>
<p>Have you heard of symbolic systems? It seems to be what you’re describing (and my intended major). The program has both cognitive science and neuroscience concentrations.
