Course description

The MA Multilingualism program at the University of Konstanz's Department of Linguistics delves into cutting-edge linguistics research, focusing on multilingualism and the individual. This program explores bilingual and multilingual language acquisition, covering bilingual development in early childhood, second-language (L2) acquisition in both children and adults, as well as third-language (L3) acquisition and heritage language acquisition. The program also examines multilingualism in society. It addresses language contact, language loss, language dominance, language influence, and language change across European and non-European languages. Students will engage with these subjects through a blend of theoretical and practical approaches, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of multilingualism from both individual and societal perspectives.
