Bonn Applied English Linguistics
At BAEL, we focus on language use across social and technical contexts. We work with naturally occurring text and talk as well as with experimental data. Our research spans fields such as
Applications of machine learning and AI to linguistic analysis — from large language models to advanced statistical modelling
Variation in English around the world — from the megacities of India to classroom English in Germany
Corpus-based discourse analysis — trying to understand society through language use on traditional and social media
Furthermore, we believe that students must be involved in this work and empowered to do research right from the start. After all, what is research but learning — that is, finding out about life?
Our four-term MA Applied Linguistics program gives students the chance to hone their empirical research skills as they work together with professors and researchers in a closely-knit learning environment.
