Linguistics
Linguistics is the scientific study of human language. At the Department of Linguistics, we study human linguistic communication in its entirety – structurally, interactively, pragmatically, neurologically, and developmentally.
The research conducted at the Department of Linguistics covers a wide variety of subjects which also reflects the diverse nature of our discipline. We strive to have a dynamic research environment with several laboratories and collaborations across subject boundaries. The research at our department is conducted within the subjects of child language development, computational linguistics, general linguistics, and phonetics.

Computational linguistics
Computational linguistics bridges the gap between linguistics and computer science, focusing on developing techniques to understand and analyze human language. This field facilitates the development of applications such as automatic translation, speech recognition, and text analysis, advancing language processing in the digital age.
