The Department of Language and Communication covers a wide range of research within language and communication studies. Broadly concerned with investigating how humans create meaning, the department's research is characterised by a shared focus on linguistic and communicative forms and their concrete realisations.
These are investigated within and across a range of research areas such as:
- Language Acquisition
- Cognition
- Interaction
- Organisational Communication
- Multimodality
- Grammatical Description and Theory
The common interests found within this diversity create a dynamism and synergy that allow for the continuous development of new interdisciplinary collaborations within the department and beyond.
