新的史塔塔中心(Stata center)將會成為語言學與哲學系所的新家。
The new Stata center which will house the departments of Linguistics and Philosophy.
語言學與哲學系所包括了語言學與哲學這兩個部門。雖然這兩者在研究議題上有重疊,大學部主修也並沒有分開;但這兩者運作都是獨立的,擁有自己的系主任、教師、行政程序、教學大綱、學位要求和補助計畫。
語言學
麻省理工學院語言學部門希望能夠從特定語言中分析和發展出能夠詮釋該語言架構的規則,並且探究所有自然語言的法則和原理。本科系的核心包括了大部分傳統語言學的子領域:音韻學、構詞學、語法、語意學和心理語言學。同時,我們研究的課題還包括了語言學和其它學門之間的關係,例如:哲學與邏輯、文學研究、正規語言、聲學與資訊科學。

哲學
麻省理工學院語言與哲學系所中的哲學部門提供兩種學士學位:一種是一般哲學主修,另一種是以語言和心智為基礎的語言學雙修。本系所傑出的博士學位課程歷史已經超過三十年,吸引了世界各地的學子前來參與,所教育出來的畢業生也投入了世界頂尖大學的教學工作中。
本系所的教師不多,但在哲學許多領域的研究和教學中都有擅長之處,包括了形而上學、邏輯、語言哲學、心靈哲學、道德和政治哲學。麻省理工學院的哲學課程也提供了和語言學、數學與政治學跨系所合作的機會。

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.
