Programme profile
How do children and adults learn, develop, and use language? Language is crucial to human communication. Language acquisition is the key focus of the track Language and Mind, part of the Bachelor’s programme Communication and Information Studies.
On the one hand, language acquisition seems to be the easiest task on the earth: every healthy child learns to speak his or her mother tongue without ever paying attention to learning it. On the other hand, language acquisition can be so complicated. Why does learning one’s native speech cost little effort whereas learning a second or a third language can be time- and effort consuming? Or even: frustrating? Why are certain aspects of languages extremely difficult to grasp, while others are relatively easy to learn?
This programme is a specialisation of the BA in Communication and Information Studies in which, you study the ins and outs of language. You investigate the structure of language, the relationship between language and cognition, and the factors that influence language acquisition. Together with your fellow students, you learn about global language issues and look for ways to address them.
