Master Sciences Du Langage — Computational Linguistics

Tuition fees are 250 EUR per year.

Sciences du Langage, or linguistics, is the academic study of how language is structured and used, covering phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. The Computational Linguistics specialization applies this linguistic foundation to language technology: students learn how language can be modeled, processed, and analyzed computationally, drawing on corpus linguistics, formal grammar, and the basics of natural language processing. Typical coursework includes linguistic annotation, corpus-based methods, computational models of syntax and semantics, and an introduction to the algorithms and tools used to build language technology such as text analysis systems, speech processing components, and machine translation aids. Students also continue to develop a broad grounding in general linguistics, since computational approaches to language depend on a precise understanding of how sounds, words, and sentences function. Graduates of this kind of specialization typically move into roles in natural language processing, computational linguistics research, speech and language technology development, corpus linguistics, or further doctoral study in linguistics or language sciences. This master's program is offered by Université Paris Cité in Paris, France, with instruction conducted in French. The degree runs over two years, with a start date inferred as September, and yearly tuition of 250 EUR. Prospective students should have an undergraduate background in linguistics or a related field, along with an interest in the formal and computational side of language study, as the specialization requires comfort with both linguistic theory and quantitative or technical methods rather than a purely literary or communicative approach to language.
