Theoretical Linguistics - master
The Master in Theoretical Linguistics is the flagship research programme built around the internationally active research group in formal linguistics at UiT. The programme provides a grounding in formal aspects of grammar, in particular syntax and phonology, to prepare students for their own research in language description and analysis. This course of study emphasizes the ways in which languages are formally similar, but also different in highly intricate and specific ways. The programme is especially suited to students interested in working on understudied languages, or engaged in comparative and micro-comparative research.
