The heart and soul of our department is collaborative research. We undertake many research projects involving department members, in many different areas of linguistics:
- Collaborations among current faculty
- Collaborations among current PhD students
- Collaborations between current faculty and current PhD students
- Collaborations among all current faculty and PhD students
- Present and past faculty-student collaboration in and around the department
