Perspectives on Language

Education facts

The purpose is to offer a varied view of language as a research object, which extends from the inside of the human brain to the structure of grammar and further to the social interaction in our daily lives. In connection with this, different research methods will be studied and put into their historical context. **Outline for distance course:** In the distance course, you work individually. Work assignments will be carried out online at mandatory webinars. Software and parts of the course material will be available online. Students are assessed in the form of written assignments and a written home essay.
