The minor field program in German Linguistics teaches basic knowledge on the structure and development of the German languages, its variants and varieties (dialects, registers, styles), its use in texts and in oral interaction, and its cognitive processing. It covers the areas “linguistic description,” “text linguistics,” “linguistic interaction/pragmatics,” “language/culture/society,” and “language and cognition.” The content of these areas is taught in courses that are arranged in various modules. Students of the program must have an excellent command of written and spoken German. The language of international linguistic scholarship is English. The ability to read secondary literature in English is thus a prerequisite for a successful course of study.

Disclaimer
The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs40 (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau41 [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.
