We are glad to announce that the international Master's programme in 
European Linguistics (MEL) at the University of Freiburg now starts 
twice a year (in April and October). Applications can be submitted until 
January 15 and June 15, respectively.

This well-established two-year Master's programme (course director: 
Professor Bernd Kortmann) is designed for students interested in an in-
depth study of theoretical and descriptive linguistics. It creates a solid 
basis for linguistic analysis and comparison, conveys a sound 
understanding of the rich and fascinating linguistic landscape of 
Europe, and imparts skills in up to four European languages. A wide 
variety of seminars and lectures are offered in the following five 
modules:

-  The European Languages: Structures, Typology and  Language 
Contact
-  Varieties and Minority Languages in Europe
-  Schools and Traditions of Linguistic Thought in Europe
-  Multilingual and Multicultural Communication in Europe 
-  The Linguistic History of Europe

An additional research module includes an internship abroad, a 
conference visit, and classes on research design and presentation 
skills.

The degree is designed to qualify students both for work in language-
related professions outside the university and for a further career in 
academia, typically in the form of a PhD.

exceptional infrastructure the University of Freiburg has created for 
Master and Ph.D. students in Linguistics (prominently including the

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax
return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site,
or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
