This Language Sciences program from University of Lisbon focuses primarily on the description of the Portuguese language and how it is used both as a means of communication and as a way of perceiving the surrounding cultural and social reality, using appropriate linguistic analysis tools. Therefore, students learn structural concepts, methods and techniques of linguistic analysis that they should be able to apply in specific situations and use in solving linguistic issues.
