Description:

The Department of Linguistics & TESOL at The University of Texas at Arlington
would like to announce the availability of five assistantships for new students
admitted for study in our PhD program starting in Fall 2010. These graduate
teaching assistantships will have a 9 month stipend of $15,300 and cover tuition
for 9 hours of coursework a semester (9 hours is a full-time load).

Our Department has an established doctoral program, with strengths in language
documentation, formal linguistics (syntax, semantics, pragmatics, phonology,
phonetics), corpus linguistics, and second language acquisition (especially
experimental approaches to SLA). Faculty strengths also include Asian,
Austronesian, and Native American languages. We are hiring two new faculty this
year, one in language documentation and syntax and another in second language
acquisition. Facilities include a new Speech Sounds Lab with a soundproof booth
and a portable ultrasound. The graduate students in our Department also organize
an annual student conference that includes the Yumi Nakamura Prize in
Linguistics, which awards a cash prize to the top presentations at the conference.

Because these assistantships were just announced by our Graduate School, we
suggest applicants submit their materials by February 12, 2010 for fullest
consideration for admission and this funding program. Application information
for prospective students can be found at:
