Program Description</p>

<p>The UCLA Department of Anthropology has always taken a broad view of anthropology, maintaining both balance and integration among the four fields (archaeology, biological, sociocultural, and linguistic), which have traditionally characterized the discipline. </p>

<p>Linguistic Anthropology is an interdisciplinary field which addresses the manifold ways in which communication and culture mutually define one another in different communities worldwide. Linguistic anthropologists at UCLA have a variety of backgrounds and research interests which include the ethnography of face to face communication, language contact and language change, verbal art and performance, and language and education. Courses are offered in ethnographic approaches to discourse analysis, urban sociolinguistics, field methods and conversational analysis, as well as cross cultural pragmatics, including visual aspects of communication.Linguistic anthropology students at UCLA may also rely on faculty in other campus departments to provide a variety of courses on language structure and language use. In particular, linguistic anthropology faculty have close ties with faculty in Applied Linguistics, Linguistics, Sociology, and with the Interdepartmental Program in Communication Studies. In addition, the Center for Language, Interaction, and Culture (CLIC) offers workshops, seminars, and conferences where UCLA students and faculty can exchange ideas and research findings with their colleagues at other institutions in the US and abroad.The weekly Discourse Lab provides an opportunity to discuss current research by students, faculty, and visiting scholars</p>
