Linguistic and Communication Studies B.A. at RWTH Aachen University

We use language every day. We speak, write, respond, and communicate in our everyday lives, at work, in personal conversations, by email, text, and online – in both oral and written styles. Linguistics and communication studies deal with the description and analysis of such communication phenomena.
