Internationally renowned faculty and staff have made Saarbrücken one of the leading centers for language science study and research world-wide. Our research covers the following areas:

∗ computational linguistics (Manfred Pinkal and Hans Uszkoreit)
∗ psycholinguistics (Matthew Crocker)
∗ phonetics (Bernd Möbius)
∗ spoken language systems (Dietrich Klakow)

Complementary to these chairs four independent research groups (Ivan Titov, Vera Demberg, Maria Staudte, Ingmar Steiner) focus on further aspects of language processing.

The department offers international degree programs at all levels, with state-of-the-art courses and ample opportunities to work with leading researchers.

The department's internationally leading research projects are supported by a range of national and European funding agencies. We are part of the Cluster of Excellence "Multimodal Computing and Interaction" at Saarland University. We have a long-standing collaboration with the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI).
