    About Linguistics: Empirical and Theoretical Foundations

    The English language Master’s programme in Linguistics: Empirical and Theoretical Foundations is an interdisciplinary course of studies. It deepens the subject-specific knowledge, methods, and skills acquired in the field of empirical and theoretical linguistics during one's Bachelor’s studies. The degree programme combines the formal implementation of findings in modern grammar models for all core areas (phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics) with experimental investigation methods and field research. The programme provides comprehensive, detailed, and specialised knowledge in formal and experimental linguistics. Students will be taught to recognise and analyse current research trends, to critically reflect on them, and to develop their own research questions as well as the methods to answer them.
