In linguistics, we explore different aspects of language structure, use and competence, approaching the latter from the diverging perspectives of language processing, acquisition and didactics. To explore a wide range of issues and topics in various subdisciplines of linguistics, we employ a variety of different research approaches and methods – such as corpus analysis, discourse analysis, interviews, observations of lessons, psycholinguistic experiments, and surveys. Relating empirical research to our own teaching is very important for us. We are thus working in particular on new findings in the structural description of language, language acquisition, the associated cognitive processes, the use of linguistic and non-linguistic means of communication and the didactics of language teaching, and hope to gain a greater understanding of our most important means of communication as a result. Our M. A. Applied Linguistics – Language Use, Processing and Acquisition enables postgraduate students to encounter the different research fields that we work in.
In addition, members of our department also contribute to the following
Bachelor degree programmes
