语言学与哲学(Linguistics and Philosophy)
The new Stata center which will house the departments of Linguistics and Philosophy.
语言学与哲学系所包括了语言学与哲学这两个部门。虽然这两者在研究议题上有重叠，大学部主修也并没有分开；但这两者运作都是独立的，拥有自己的系主任、教师、行政程序、教学大纲、学位要求和补助计划。
语言学
麻省理工学院语言学部门希望能够从特定语言中分析和发展出能够诠释该语言架构的规则，并且探究所有自然语言的法则和原理。本科系的核心包括了大部分传统语言学的子领域：音系学、构词学、语法、语意学和心理语言学。同时，我们研究的课题还包括了语言学和其它学门之间的关系，例如：哲学与逻辑、文学研究、正规语言、声学与计算机科学。

哲学
麻省理工学院语言与哲学系所中的哲学部门提供两种学士学位：一种是一般哲学主修，另一种是以语言和心智为基础的语言学双修。本系所杰出的博士学位课程历史已经超过三十年，吸引了世界各地的学子前来参与，所教育出来的毕业生也投入了世界顶尖大学的教学工作中。
本系所的教师不多，但在哲学许多领域的研究和教学中都有擅长之处，包括了形而上学、逻辑、语言哲学、心灵哲学、道德和政治哲学。麻省理工学院的哲学课程也提供了和语言学、数学与政治学跨系所合作的机会。

As its name suggests, the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy houses a linguistics section and a philosophy section. Though they share a number of intellectual interests and a joint undergraduate major, these two sections are administratively autonomous with separate chairpersons, faculties, admissions procedures, curricular and degree requirements, and financial aid programs.
Linguistics
The research conducted by the MIT Linguistics Program strives to develop a general theory that reveals the rules and laws that govern the structure of particular languages, and the general laws and principles governing all natural languages. The core of the program includes most of the traditional subfields of linguistics: phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and psycholinguistics, as well as questions concerning the interrelations between linguistics and other disciplines such as philosophy and logic, literary studies, the study of formal languages, acoustics, and computer science.

Philosophy
The Philosophy section of MIT's Department of Linguistics and Philosophy offers two undergraduate majors: one a general philosophy major, and another joint major with the linguistics section in the foundations of the study of language and mind. For more than 30 years, the Department has also had an outstanding Ph.D. program that attracts students from around the world, and has placed its graduates on the faculties of the world's leading universities.
The Department's faculty is small, but has research and teaching strengths in a wide range of areas of philosophy, including metaphysics, logic, the philosophy of language and the philosophy of mind, ethics,
and political philosophy. The MIT philosophy program also offers the opportunity for interdisciplinary work in linguistics, mathematics, and political science.
