Applied Linguistics
Master of Arts
Angewandte Linguistik, M.A.
Description
The programme deals with the basics of text linguistics and writing science, also taking into account culture-specific differences.
Therefore, the first part of the course aims at deepening competences in the research areas of writing research, variation linguistics and text and discourse linguistics. The special profile of this Linguistics Master, however, lies in its subsequent compulsory focal points, in which these fundamentals can be deepened in two directions:
Focus on “text competence”, especially with regard to the context “language at work” or “German as a foreign language / German as a second language”. Both focus areas also work on a project-oriented basis, and an internship must be included in both.
