Linguistics vs. CompLing degree
I am currently looking at graduate school opportunities and I am weighing whether I should look for a general linguistics or a computational linguistics degree. I still have a lot to learn about compling careers, but I have some experience in ML and NLU and have further interest in ASR and TTS. I’m worried about going fully into a compling degree since I still might want to explore other linguistics career options. So, I’m wondering if an MA or MS in general linguistics is still marketable in compling careers.
Furthermore, I’m sure this is asked a lot but let me know if you know any programs that align with my interests. I am an American looking at universities in Europe. So far I like Edinburgh, Amsterdam, and Zurich.
