Theses in Linguistics: Abstracts
This page provides access to abstracts of recent theses by students who have completed the M.A. program in Linguistics at the University of North Dakota. See also the complete list of thesis titles since 1959 (on a separate page).
In some cases a link is provided to download the thesis itself. The electronic copies of the theses are virtually identical to the hardcopy versions on file at the University of North Dakota library, although some have slight changes in formatting and other minor editing (done either by the author or with the author's permission).
If you want to download a thesis, you will first need to install Adobe Acrobat® Reader. Free versions of Acrobat Reader for Windows, Macintosh, UNIX, and other computer systems can be downloaded from Adobe's Web site at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html.
