Applied English Linguistics
Description
The Master’s Programme in Applied English Linguistics is designed to train qualified English philologists with a broad profile, who regard language as a complex phenomenon with its intrinsic and distinctive qualities and are able to independently analyse different levels and units of the English language, applying the knowledge of linguistics and translation to the analysis and translation of texts of different genres, registers, styles, and communicative intentions; to critically evaluate and produce such texts, applying creatively the knowledge of linguistics, sociolinguistics, intercultural communication, translation, and language teaching in their professional and scientific activities. Simultaneously, the synthesis of modern theories of comparative linguistics, translation, language learning, and intercultural communication broadens students' academic and research interests and enables graduates to pursue doctoral studies.

Linguists don't cure diseases, don't create space technologies, but they help solve a multitude of practical earthly problems: they develop language teaching, translation, and intercultural communication skills; they help identify disinformation and hate speech, create automated tools for recognizing them, analyze and summarize data, monitor public discourse, and so on. There is no area of life where language isn't needed.
