स्थानबारे जानकारी

The Department of Linguistics is unique in that all students and faculty in the department share an abiding interest in the study of American Sign Language (ASL). The ongoing, innovative research carried out by the linguistics faculty and graduate students is contributing substantially to what is known about the structure and use of sign languages. ASL is not only the subject of faculty and student research, but also the language of communication in the classroom. In order to learn about how languages work, students must study specific languages. In a typical linguistics degree program the languages studied are produced by activity in the vocal tract. In this program, students study both vocally produced and signed languages, with considerable emphasis on ASL. This provides students with a broad understanding of language with a specialist's understanding of ASL.

आवास सम्बन्धी विस्तृत जानकारी

Living on campus provides more social and learning opportunities; flexible study schedules; and easy convenience to Gallaudet’s library, computer labs and Washington, D.C. Free TV cable and internet access in each room are also a plus. The University campus has six residence halls which are locked 24 hours a day, seven days a week and require the resident’s access card for entry. Each building has vending machines and laundry facilities in the basement for residents' use. Laundry cards for washers and dryers, both of which are card operated, are available for purchase at a fee of $1.00 per load from the Department of Public Safety in Carlin Hall. The residence hall staff works together with residents to provide a sense of community through educational programs and living arrangements. Students may opt to live in theme communities such as sports and recreation or leadership. Communities in the residence halls encourage residents to interact in a socially and educationally supportive environment with those having common interests and goals on the same floor or wing. All residence halls have vending machines and laundry facilities located in the basement area. Rooms are all wired for telephone, internet, and cable TV hookup. The residence hall entrances are locked at all times.
