To: HPSG and LFG lists From: Joan Bresnan and Ivan Sag Re: Stanford Linguistics Dear colleagues, We would like to bring to your attention some information about Stanford's graduate program in linguistics. A number of students whom we have met abroad are unaware that they could compete for admission to many American Ph.D. programs, including Stanford's, on an equal footing with students from the U.S. Unfortunately, admission to Stanford's Ph.D. program in linguistics is expensive and highly competitive, because Stanford is a private university ranked among the top three research-Ph.D. universities in the U.S. (with Harvard and Berkeley) and its Linguistics Department is among the top two (with MIT). But full funding is available for those graduate students selected for admission, and that includes students from abroad. We would therefore like to encourage applications from qualified candidates in other countries. For your information, we enclose a list of faculty in our department and in related programs at Stanford and the surrounding community. Further information is available from the department's (http://bhasa.stanford.edu/) and CSLI's (http://www-csli/csli/) world wide web pages and the related pages accessible from these. But if there is any further information we can provide, please don't hesitate to contact us directly.
