Annotation

Language is a matter of course for us. But what is language and how is it used in advertising or other areas of everyday life? How is language acquired and how is it changing? We will get to the bottom of these and similar questions in our Linguistics degree programme. In our interdisciplinary degree programme, students learn about various linguistic analysis methods and investigate phenomena of the German, English, French and Spanish languages.
