Department of Language Studies

Welcome to the Department of Language Studies at the University of Toronto Mississauga, home to transformative university experiences within academic programs and courses focused on research and engaging experiential learning opportunities. We study language, its structure, its variation and change, its acquisition, its processing, its teaching, its semantic and cultural representations, as well as various aspects of its expression such as literature, poetry, speech signal, machine learning, machine-to-human communication and translation. Language is a key factor in our cultures and identities, and through research, innovation and the teaching and learning of skills, language allows for the creation of successful economies and communities. The study of language is fundamental in achieving optimal communication amongst those who make up the multicultural tapestry of our communities and the core of our social, political and economic systems.
