hoviariel Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Hello, I have a few weeks left till I have to submit my applications and their fees for MAs and PhDs in Linguistics with a concentration in Comp-Ling. And sadly, I just developed cold feet. I'm an English Language major with a minor in Comp Sci, and for some reason I'm all of a sudden confused as to whether I'll feel more comfortable going into computational linguistics or into computer science. I like the systematization and mathematical focus that computational linguistics brings to general linguistics, especially for morpho-syntax and semantics. But I also know that I like that machine and pattern-based approach on its own. I'm graduating this Spring and hopefully get accepted into a (computational) linguistics program in the States (I'm an international). But now that I'm looking at the local computer science master's programs, I don't know what I really want anymore. I just have no idea what I'll enjoy more and whether when I'm 30 or 40 (sorry for being a cliched 20-year old) I would be doing/wanting to do more of linguistics, computational linguistics, natural language processing, or algorithm/theory-oriented computer science. I crossed this over to the computer science forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omnium Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) Take a look at the programs being offered at UW (http://www.compling.uw.edu/) and Brandeis (http://www.brandeis.edu/gsas/programs/comp_ling.html).
