Description

Description

This course is obligatory for students in the master's programme in languages and linguistics specialising in English. It can also be an elective course for other students within the same programme.

Students who have finished the BA course in English (ENGK01) can also take this course as a fee-standing course.

The course can be an elective course within ENGX64 (English: Linguistic specialisation (91-120 credits)).

 

The contents of the course

The course provides an overview of the major traditions of lexical semantic research, including relevant aspects of insights into lexicography. The main focus in the course will be on the theoretical and methodological relationship between the various lexical semantic approaches, as well as on how these approaches are related and what the main differences are. Students’ own research work can also cover aspects of lexical semantics in the context of applied linguistics (for example, computational linguistics, language acquisition and learning).

 

After the course

After taking this course, you will have a good understanding of what lexical semantics is and how the field has developed.  You will also know what practical aspects lexical semantic research can have.

Note!

This course is not open as a freestanding course next semester. It can be open for application within a programme or for students in an exchange programme. Please ask your academic advisor for information.

How to apply

Lund University uses a national application system run by University Admissions in Sweden. It is only possible to apply during the application periods: October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.

Extended application deadline

Sometimes the application deadline is extended for a specific programme or course. In these cases you will find the message "open for late application" by the programme/course information on universityadmissions.se. You apply with the usual application steps. As long as this message is showing, it is possible to apply, but late applications are processed in order of date, so it is still important to apply as soon as possible. Please note that if the programme/course does not have an extended deadline, it is not possible to apply late.

First or Second Admission Round?

All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.

The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.

Tuition Fees

Non-EU/EEA citizens

Citizens of a country outside of the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland are required to pay tuition fees. You pay one instalment of the tuition fee in advance of each semester.
