About this programme

Linguistics in all its variety: In this Master's degree programme, students can deepen their knowledge of modern formal linguistics as well as learn about new aspects of the subject. The programme focuses on synchronic syntax and phonology. However, diachronic issues are also a part of the education you will receive, and empirical work is also included. The Master's programme conveys in-depth and reflected knowledge of fundamental descriptive and analytical theories and methods. In addition, students will also acquire the skills needed for independent and interdisciplinary scientific work in issues that are pertinent to all individual languages.
