The Master’s Programme in Language and Linguistics offers a unique opportunity for pursuing advanced studies in languages and linguistics. It is intended for you who are interested in increasing your knowledge of language and broadening your theoretical understanding of linguistic questions.
The MA programme in Language and Linguistics consists of seven different specialisations and 18 subject areas. Within the Linguistics specialisation, you can choose between either General Linguistics or Phonetics.
Within General Linguistics, the profile areas are typological linguistics, evolutionary linguistics, cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics. Typological linguistics attempts to define the confines within which language structure can vary. Evolutionary linguistics aims to understand the reasons for linguistic diversity and the principles of language emergence and change. Cognitive linguistics seeks to obtain an understanding of the cognitive principles that lie at the basis of learning and using a language. Psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics investigate the psychological and neurological correlates of language structure and processing.
Within Phonetics, one profile area in Lund is prosody, which deals with speech melody and rhythm. This profile is central in the courses in phonology, the sounds of the world’s languages, experimental phonetics, and language and the brain. Descriptive phonetics, speech perception, and acoustic phonetics are other areas that students in phonetics may focus on.
