The Doctoral Program in Linguistic Studies is aimed at those people who, with a university degree and a profile in languages and linguistics, wish to take on the challenge of doing a dissertation. We have gathered a group of specialists in Spanish, Galician and general linguistics to offer an attractive program and a stimulating context aimed at carrying out the research plan. The theses may deal with a topic related to the research lines of the program: • The description of languages • Linguistics applied in different aspects (lexicography and terminography, teaching and learning of languages or language technologies) • Discourse analysis and sociolinguistics • Historical linguistics and linguistic historiography.
