One of the largest and most diverse Linguistics Departments in Australia, and very possibly internationally. The Department supports undergraduate, postgraduate coursework and postgraduate research degrees students, both domestically, internationally and by distance.
The Department has a strong interest in the description of modern English language, especially work in systemic-functional grammar, in discourse analysis and pragmatics, and in Australian English. Its applied linguistics work extends over a number of fields including language and literacy education, TESOL, language program management, stylistics, a well-established program in translation and interpreting, and an innovative program in communication in professions and organisations.
The Clinics within the Department of Linguistics are teaching clinics of the Macquarie University Master of Clinical Audiology Program and Master of Speech and Language Pathology (MSLP) Program.
The clinics operate as full time clinics, providing teaching and research opportunities and also offering a clinical service to the community. Assessment and intervention services are provided and fully qualified audiologists and speech pathologists staff all clinics. Students enrolled in the Masters degrees of Clinical Audiology and Speech Pathology work in close association with the staff to gain clinical experience.
