About

The Master in Theoretical Linguistics at UIT the Arctic University of Norway is well suited for students who wish to study language from a comparative perspective.

Overview

The Master in Theoretical Linguistics at UIT the Arctic University of Norway covers graduate level studies in theoretical linguistics, and is to be seen as an extension of work at the Bachelor's level. The programme places special emphasis on the formal aspects of grammar, in particular syntax and phonology. The approach to these disciplines relies on comparative studies of many languages. Students will develop insight into the structure of language, comparative aspects of linguistic research, social and geographic variation, the historical development of languages and language acquisition. At the Master's level, students will develop special interests based on their coursework and will write either a Master's Thesis or two article-length papers.
