Thank you both for the advice! I'll definitely take a look at the staff and see if their interests match up to mine. At the moment my interests are quite broad and I'm thankful for the rounded approach my undergrad university takes, as long as I can keep phonology at bay I'm usually happy! I'm writing my final year dissertation about language ergativity and valency (I don't have a narrowed down, specific question yet though!) Thankfully my first language is English, paying for the General GRE was enough of a surprise without the TOEFL as well!

Hey! I'm a current undergrad from the UK wanting to apply for MA Linguistics programmes in the US. I was wondering if anyone has any experience of the PhD at Austin? Do many students leave after they gain the MA? And I am right in thinking I have to take both the General GRE and the English GRE?! I don't really have a specific research topic or anything I'm particularly interested in, do I need to find one since technically I'd be applying for a PhD not an MA? Thank you!
