Overview
There is not a day without language: we use it to read, write, to communicate. But do you ever wonder how you learned to speak your language when you were a child? And how, as an adult, do you learn new languages? Linguistics has the answer to those questions. In the BA Linguistics at Leiden University, you get to explore all aspects of this discipline. You will compare languages, study languages that are almost extinct, and learn about language rules and structure.
