>linguistics programs
University of Maryland, College Park would be a good choice. I went there for my undergrad and studied linguistics, but I ended up transfering and did my BS in math. MIT is another good one, although the chances of getting in are obviously astronomically small.

>Cognitive Science
Yeah, it really varies. Most cognitive scientists probably are working in psych departments, although ideally you'd find a dedicated program. Johns Hopkins and Indiana University Bloomington both have dedicated cognitive science programs that do a lot of logic, linguistics, and philosophy of language type stuff. There are a few others like UC Irvine and Brown.

If you're doing an MS in stats, there's also a lot of statistical research on language in computational linguistics, although you probably know more about that stuff than I do. From the little I've seen (basically Zipf's law and some related stuff), I don't think it's super interesting or philosophically deep, but the employement prosepcts would probably be better for this sort of thing.

I would add that UC Irvine, Carnegie Mellon, and Notre Dame all have good philosophy departments that do a lot of logic and analytic philosophy, and I don't expect them to shift away from that any time soon. A lot of the UC system is good at this stuff AFAIK, but the aforementioned UC Irvine is definitely the best. They have three dedicated departments for each of the subjects cognitive science, "logic and philosophy of science", and "language science", all of which are good. UCLA is good too.

What about the infinite sume 1+0+0+0+0+0+...
where the first term is 1 and all subsequent terms are zero. Would yous still claim that this sum does not converge to 1?
