Department of Linguistics

Linguistics is a scientific discipline that studies natural languages as living, evolving, changing, and even dying systems, examining their structures and workings from both theoretical and applied perspectives. It encompasses the structures, processes, universal features, cognitive processes involved in language production and perception, emergence and origins of natural languages, their historical developments, relationships and interactions among languages in the past and present, changes over time, differences and similarities, forms of usage in written and oral communication, as well as issues related to language learning and teaching. In essence, anything related to language falls within the scope of linguistic inquiry.

Starting from the academic year 2023-2024, our department will begin admitting students, aiming to educate individuals who will acquire the fundamental principles and research methods of linguistics, stay updated with the current developments in the field, and specialize in various areas of linguistics, with a focus on Theoretical and Applied Linguistics and Historical and Comparative Linguistics.
