Research into language and language use can take many forms. The Department of Language Studies organizes higher seminars within three research areas: literature, linguistics, and language teaching and learning. Our researchers work with historical and contemporary sources such as language databases, language maps, fiction, travel writing, digital texts, spoken language and much more.
"The lecture explores how the language we use when talking about outer space is shaped by three key factors"
Irene Bordignon, visiting PhD student, is interested in climate change with a particular focus on the Arctic.
"The Arctic has moved into our consciousness as a central part of the Earth's machinery."
