GENERAL LINGUISTICS
The
term "General Linguistics" is used here as a translation of the Swedish
allmän
språkvetenskap. Our subject can be broadly defined as the study
of structure of human languages and how they are acquired and used by individuals
and groups.
Even if the research activities within our group are quite diversified, we have a distinct research profile. Many of our researchers have their own web pages – links can be found on the People page. If you are interested in our Ph.D. program, please consult the information here.

The
picture above belongs to the art collection of Stockholm University and
was painted by Hendrick van Cleve (approx. 1525 - 1589). It shows the Tower
of Babel, a suitable symbol for the diversity of human languges, and is
one of many with a similar motif, the most famous of which were painted
by Pieter Breughel the Elder.
