English Linguistics: Theories, Interfaces, Technologies

1. Are you fascinated by the theoretical frameworks that explain how language works?

Absolutely, I love linguistic theory Somewhat, but it’s abstract Not really, I prefer practical topics

2. Do you enjoy analyzing the interface between syntax, semantics, and phonology?

Yes, I love cross-domain analysis A bit, but it seems complex No, I prefer single-focus studies

3. Are you interested in language technology tools like NLP, corpus analysis, and speech processing?

Absolutely, tech excites me Somewhat, but I’m new to coding No, I prefer humanistic approaches

4. Do you enjoy working with corpora and quantitative methods to study language patterns?

Yes, data analysis is my strength A bit, but statistics intimidate me No, I prefer qualitative study

5. Are you keen to explore psycholinguistic interfaces—how the mind processes language?

Definitely, cognition fascinates me Somewhat, but it’s new to me No, I focus on structure only

6. Do you want to study sociolinguistic interfaces—how language varies across contexts?

Yes, I love social aspects A bit, but need guidance No, I focus on formal theory

7. Are you comfortable learning programming languages (Python, R) for linguistic data processing?

Absolutely, I code already Somewhat, but I’m a beginner No, I prefer no-code tools

8. Do you enjoy interdisciplinary research at the intersection of linguistics and technology?

Yes, I thrive on interdisciplinarity A bit, but it’s challenging No, I prefer single-discipline focus

9. Are you excited to engage with research on language acquisition and interface phenomena?

Definitely, it’s my interest Somewhat, but I need more background No, I prefer mature language study

10. Do you plan to apply linguistic theories and technologies in future careers (research, industry)?

Yes, it’s my career goal Maybe, still exploring No, I have different plans
