- mjn 13y agoI assume a degree with that title would lean towards the formal side of linguistics, which means you would certainly cover things like the Chomsky hierarchy in detail; after all linguistics is where the Chomsky hierarchy (though not regular languages) originated.
- justinator 13y agoIn this interview[1] he states that his degree is one that he designed himself (which his college allowed), and that he used his programming classes and experience as the second of two foreign languages he needed for his Linguistics degree (the first being Classical Greek). He calls this a, "hack". He talks about schooling after his undergrad, but doesn't go into what that was. [1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNAtbYSxzuA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNAtbYSxzuA
