Description
Linguistics is a discipline devoted to understanding the nature and function of ‘Language’ through scientific methods. Language is however an interdisciplinary phenomenon which has been an object of study in older and contemporary fields like Philosophy, Literature, Psychology, Neuroscience, Sociology, Anthropology and Computer Science. Students, researchers and practitioners in these fields often deal with language without the practical skills, theoretical tools and knowledge required to systematically study it. The Fall School in Language is a boot-camp in Linguistics which will enable them to do so. This school is also suitable for interpreters, language teachers, copy-editors, proof-readers, advertisers, journalists and lawyers who can professionally benefit from a systematic understanding of language.
