Présentation
Linguistics aims to identify the common properties of languages by studying their formal features, their history, their diversity, the way they are learned, and the pathologies that can affect them.
The Master's degree in Language Sciences - Grands Moulins Campus offers a training program in Theoretical and Experimental Linguistics and Phonetics (TELPh) that is especially oriented towards research, theorization and experimental analysis of linguistic phenomena.
In addition to providing comprehensive training in the different fields of linguistics, this program offers a thorough introduction to the different experimental methods used to describe linguistic phenomena and a critical discussion of the different linguistic theories adopted in modern linguistics to explain such phenomena.
The program offers solid theoretical training in conjunction with the introduction of advanced experimental methods. Experimental work is carried out in one of the department’s laboratories.
The program combines coursework and research on an MA thesis project, thus allowing students to gain expertise in specific subdisciplines, and preparing them for diverse professional fields: linguistic research, language teaching, professions involving language and speech (e.g., speech therapy), communication, language policy (e.g., regional languages and accents, language contact, multilingualism, European integration), linguistic engineering, and professions involving the acoustic analysis of speech and signal processing techniques adapted for speech recognition
Compétences visées
- ability to describe and explain linguistic processes
- ability to conduct original, well-equipped research on language functioning based on a research hypothesis within a precise theoretical framework,
- be able to gather the necessary data (corpus research, psycholinguistic experiments, fieldwork) to analyze linguistic phenomena
- quantitative and qualitative analysis of collected data analysis of acoustic data on speech, articulation and perception, which will enable you to deepen your field of study towards more applied approaches.

Programme
The Master's program spans two years, divided into four semesters, with each semester corresponding to 30 ECTS credits. The first three semesters consist of on-site courses taught in English, offering a well-rounded curriculum organized into:
1. Fundamentals of linguistics 1, 2 and 3 (42 ECTS across the three semesters)
2. Skills in linguistics 1, 2 and 3 (12-15 ECTS across the three semesters)
3. Broadening in linguistics 1, 2 and 3 (12-15 ECTS across the three semesters)
Two written research dissertations: one short for the M1 and one more expanded with a public defence towards the end of the M2.
1. M1 thesis (3 ECTS for preparation in S1 and 9 ECTS in S2)
2. M2 research dissertation (6ECTS thesis preparation in S3 and 30 ECTS in S4)
A research internship is an option during the first year (M1).
Courses in phonetics and phonology are taught at the linguistics department on the campus des Grands Moulins and at the université Sorbonne Nouvelle – Paris 3.
Our detailed program with course description is available here

Stages et projets tutorés
The internship in the Theoretical and Experimental Linguistics and Phonetics (TELPh) program lasts a minimum of 70 hours (i.e. two weeks full-time) and is validated after the student has written a report. The internship can be with a company, a language school or a research laboratory, depending on the student's personal and professional project, but always in relation to linguistics.
