Profile
Linguistics is an empirical subject.Students of the MA Linguistics program will be instructed in the advantages and disadvantages of the three principal methods of data collection, that is speaker interviews (elicitation, questionnaires), experiments, and corpora of natural language utterances (spontaneous speech, texts). They will both learn to evaluate their relevance for theoretical claims and implement surveys of their own.Research in Linguistics is hypothesis-driven; and theories and models include non-linguistic aspects of human cognition and social interaction.Students receive thorough training in the most important theoretical concepts and models as well as their relevance for the understanding of human language, cognition, and society.The job market is calling on applicants to have two diverging requirements: be specialized and versatile at the same time.The combination of Profile Modules and Advanced Modules allows to train students in all available fields, providing the extraordinary opportunity to acquire broad and varied methodical and theoretical competences. Hence, the Linguistics program addresses the requirement of prospective employers, both in the academic as well as the non-academic job market.
