![]() The Linguistics Research Commons (3607 South Hall) provides a suite of rooms surrounding a large meeting space, all designed to support a variety of collaborative research groups in the department. All tables and chairs are on casters, allowing real-time reconfiguration of the class from lecture format to small collaborative groups as the need arises during an ongoing class session. Multiple large monitors in the classroom allow small groups to gather in breakout sessions to analyze audio and video data. Instructors, teaching assistants, and course participants can all present their work and their instruction via wireless access to data projectors. Our new classroom (3605 South Hall) incorporates a number of features designed to support innovative forms of teaching uniquely suited to the study of language and linguistics. ![]() An additional satellite lab on the 3rd floor (3607B South Hall) supports research in neurolinguistic imaging. These rooms support a range of more specialized research activities: language documentation, field work, video analysis, phonetics/phonology, psycholinguistic experiments, and so on, as well as impromptu video conferencing and meetings of graduate student groups or research teams. Surrounding a large central space for general graduate student research, well supplied with computer workstations for student use, is a cluster of five “satellite” labs and meeting rooms. The new Linguistics Lab (4430 South Hall) was inaugurated in 2010, and instantly became the hub of graduate student life in the department. The lab offers graduate students (and the occasional faculty) a wide range of facilities to support collaborative research. Additionally, there are many external resources which may be useful. The department also provides Field Recording Equipment to support graduate student research. The Linguistics Department provides a variety of resources to support research and learning by students and faculty, including the Linguistics Lab, Linguistics Classroom, Linguistics Research Commons, Linguistics Reading Room, and the Santa Barbara Archive of Language and Discourse.
