As we begin a new academic year on campus, the Linguistics Program has much to celebrate. Join us in welcoming our newest faculty member, Assistant Professor Lewis Esposito as well as our new class of graduate students. We are also thrilled to welcome back to our faculty this fall Dr. Tracey Weldon, Professor of Linguistics and English. We are all looking forward to celebrating all that Dr. Weldon brings to USC when she joins us in October.
