Transcript:
Arrange for each college or university you have attended to send two official transcripts to the department.
Personal Statement:
Personal statement. This should include a summary of your academic and personal background, with a special emphasis on aspects of it that might be relevant to graduate work in linguistics. Of course, any previous study of the subject should be mentioned. You should also indicate your reasons for wanting to pursue a graduate degree in linguistics.
It is typically difficult to disentangle your background and personal intellectual history from your plans and goals, so the two statements may partly overlap. For applicants to the M.A. program, each of these statements should be 500–700 words.
Recommendation Letter:
Recommendation letters. Ask three people who are well-acquainted with your qualifications for graduate study in linguistics to send letters of recommendation directly to the department. These may be submitted via the online application system. If you find yourself unable to submit the letters in that fashion, sending them by post or by email to the graduate secretary for linguistics is also suitable.
Academic Statement:
Academic statement. This is a statement of purpose that characterizes your intellectual goals. It should indicate your specific area(s) of interest in linguistics and what you hope to focus on in the program. It’s entirely appropriate to speculate about potential topics of future research papers or even the topic of your thesis or dissertation. (If admitted, you will not be required to do precisely what you describe. Your plans may change.)

Writing Sample:
Applicants to the M.A. program may submit a writing sample as well, but are not required to do so.
