The linguistics research field is progressing quickly, with passionate and committed guidance available for PhD candidates in linguistics and associated language disciplines spanning various specialties.

We provide an engaging, nurturing, and fulfilling setting for advanced postgraduate research and encourage PhD proposals covering all linguistics domains, especially those with cross-disciplinary possibilities. Here, you can blend linguistic approaches with other fields like literature, creative writing, historical and memory research, healthcare, or social sciences.

Current and recent doctoral projects explore diverse topics such as: mathematical communication pragmatics, iconicity's function in sign language, meta-representation in Brechtian theater analysis, gender portrayals in Algerian educational materials, second-language learners' intonation and communication skills, autism and pragmatic approaches, plus a corpus analysis of gender differences and cultural politeness in email communication.
