<p>Stanford linguistics is pretty balla. They have some of the top linguistics researchers in the world. Like most Stanford departments (except math), virtually all the lecturers are full professors. Not only is research a definitely possibility, they encourage it for non-majors and even require research for a bachelor’s degree. It’s incredibly easy to do research at Stanford in really any department: just email a prof you want to research with, meet with him/her, and either they’ll take you or they’ll point you to someone who will and who has research you’d be interested in. </p>
<p>That being said, I’ve pretty much decided not be a linguistics major because I’m not a big fan of research (I want to go into industry not academia). Regardless, PM me if you have any further questions and I’ll see what I can find out for you.</p>
