Course description
Tübingen has a rich history in the field of Linguistics, and today, more linguists are exploring a broader range of linguistic aspects than ever before. This growth is largely due to the remarkable success of Tübingen linguists in securing research funding over the past two decades. The M.A. program in English Linguistics mirrors this depth and interdisciplinary approach. The program covers core areas such as phonetics, morphology, syntax, and semantics. It also offers specializations in second language acquisition, information structure, language processing, experimental syntax, formal semantics, psycholinguistics, and historical linguistics.
