In the Bachelor’s in Sign Language Linguistics, you will explore sign languages, their structure, acquisition and use from the perspective of a linguist, while learning at least one sign language yourself. Sign languages from all around the world demonstrate interesting similarities, but they are not mutually intelligible and differ from each other in significant ways. The acquisition of sign languages also shows interesting similarities and differences with the acquisition of spoken languages. This Bachelor's teaches you general linguistic principles and methods and offers you a wide range of courses in sign languages that address these fascinating topics. Sign Language Linguistics at the University of Amsterdam offers you:
