Research Lines
1. Language and Humanities
Having as a common epistemological axis the interrelations between linguistic and practical theories and knowledge in the field of human sciences, the researches that derive from the projects sheltered in this line start from the presupposition of the existence of disciplinary and interdisciplinary tensions in the interface between language, society, philosophy and education. Among the various approaches that operate within this context, we highlight the researches that specifically derive from the relations between Linguistics and the social phenomenon – language and interaction, language and use, linguistic contacts, bilingualism and bilinguality – Linguistics and Philosophy – Language and Representation, Language and Ethics, History and Epistemology of Linguistics – and Applied Linguistics – Language and teaching and learning practices, (multi) literacy and technologies, discourse and cultural diversity.

2. Linguistics and Cognition
Having as a common epistemological axis the notion of language as a cognitive phenomenon, the projects sheltered in this line start from the assumption that linguistic studies are characterized as a means of understanding the functioning of the mechanisms of human cognition. The researches developed are based on theoretical, computational, processing and use-based language models. In this sense, the teachers of this line are affiliated to the fields of Linguistics typically recognized as Language Processing and Acquisition, Grammar Theory, Computational Linguistics and Cognitive-Functional Linguistics.
