Program Overview

The doctoral program in Language Sciences: Discourse Analysis and Sociolinguistics focuses on an in-depth study of linguistic phenomena in their social, cultural, and communicative dimensions. It aims to train researchers capable of interpreting language in context through diverse theoretical and methodological approaches. Discourse analysis is explored as a tool for investigating social, media, political, and educational practices, while sociolinguistics helps understand the relationships between language, society, and identity. The program emphasizes interdisciplinarity by integrating contributions from cognitive linguistics, pragmatics, and the social sciences, with an openness to language technologies.
