<p>rhombot, I agree… In another post, I actually said that some academicians rank Umass higher than MIT. In that case, it would be the top. But I still think MIT deserves to be top, and I believe most people who think that way believe that it should be the case because of MIT’s long tradition of good linguistics and that Chomsk’s association with MIT.</p>
<p>And yea, in phonology, I definitely believe that Umass is a top-notch dept. U got McCarty man…</p>
<p>And yea, I agree with you about UBC. I think that Berkeley should not any more keep the first place there since they lost most of their good faculty. Probably, UBC is better now.</p>
