Department of Linguistics
PhD students
PhD students are listed here for a number of reasons. It may be helpful for undergraduates considering taking Linguistics to know of people they can approach informally to find out more about the field. Many PhD students also act as supervisors, and the contact information may be of practical value. And the areas of research listed here give a further indication of the range of work being carried out in the Linguistics Department and in other related Departments and Faculties.
COPiL (Cambridge Occasional Papers in Linguistics) provides a venue for PhD students, lecturers, and affiliated linguists to make their work publicly available.
