OBJECTIVES
The computational linguistics program enables students to master the
techniques of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and their applications.
The professional orientation opens up to positions in artificial
intelligence companies as computer linguists working on the processing
of written texts. The research orientation may allow to pursue a PhD in
computational linguistics.
The master's program consists of two years of two semesters each.
- The first year focuses on the formal foundations of NLP, machine
learning and the articulation with the formal description of languages.
The courses are complemented by practical work on computers.
- In the second year, the first semester includes in-depth courses, in
particular for the research track, and application courses for the
industrial track. The second semester is a research internship in a
laboratory or an internship in a company, with the writing of a
dissertation and its defense.
Skills and Competencies:
• Know how to explore and computerize large and varied corpora of texts;
• Know state-of-the art algorithms for Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning and how
to use them to solve a given task ;
• Be able to use deep learning libraries ;
• Know how to design and implement new algorithms to solve specific tasks ;
• Know modern linguistic concepts allowing the description of various languages.

OBJECTIVES
The Master's degree in Language Sciences with a specialty in Phonetics
and Phonology is a research-oriented program. It targets students
planning to do research in linguistics or planning to pursue a language-
related profession, with special interest in phonetics and phonology and
offers advanced theoretical and experimental training, including the
analysis of speech acoustics, articulation, and perception, thus also
leading to more applied fields. Courses are taught in the Linguistics
Department on the Campus Grands Moulins, and on the campus of the
Université Sorbonne Nouvelle – Paris 3. This is a joint training
program offered through a formal agreement between the two institutions.
Within the Master's degree in Language Sciences, the Phonetics and
Phonology specialty aims to train researchers in general linguistics
with an expertise in phonetics and phonology. The program prepares
students for a variety of professions: linguistic research, research in
language teaching, professions involving language, speech, speech
pathology, communication, language policy (e.g., regional languages and
accents, European integration, etc.), professions involving the acoustic
analysis of speech, etc.
This is a two-year program (two semesters per year), including courses
in general linguistics and courses specialized in phonetics and
phonology. All classes are "English-friendly", and involve readings
primarily in English. Writing in English is possible and encouraged.
Two research papers are required: a shorter one at the end of the first
year, and a longer one, which will be defended at the end of the second
year. A research internship is mandatory.
Skills and Competencies:
• Developing synthetic and analytical skills (describing and explaining linguistic processes);
• Formulating original research questions;
• Formulating research hypotheses in relation to theoretical frameworks and designing rigorous
experimental methods to test the hypotheses;
• Learning to do quantitative and qualitative analyses of production and perception data collected in
the laboratory or in the field.

OBJECTIVES
Linguistics aims to identify the common properties of languages by
studying their formal features, their history, their diversity, the way
they are learned, and the pathologies that can affect them. The Master's
degree in Language Sciences - Campus Grands Moulins offers a theoretical
and experimental training program in Linguistics that is especially
oriented towards research, theorization and experimental analysis of
linguistic phenomena. In addition to providing comprehensive training in
the different fields of linguistics, this program offers a thorough
introduction to the different experimental methods used to describe
linguistic phenomena and a critical discussion of the different
linguistic theories adopted in modern linguistics to explain such
phenomena.
Within the Master's degree in Language Sciences, the specialty in
Theoretical and Experimental Linguistics aims to train researchers in
linguistics and language professionals. The Master's prepares students
for diverse professions, mostly in the field of research, linguistic
policy making and teaching. The Master's degree provides access to a
variety of professional fields: research in linguistics, teaching,
speech therapy, communication-related professions, teaching French as a
foreign language, language policy making (regional languages, language
contact, European integration, etc.), software engineering, linguistic
engineering, etc.
Two research papers will be written: a short one in the first year and a
longer one with a public defense at the end of the second year. A
research internship is mandatory in the first year.
Skills and Competencies:
• Ability to describe and explain linguistic phenomena.
• Ability to conduct original and well supported research on how languages function: students will
learn how to start from a research hypothesis within a precise theoretical framework; how to
collect the necessary data (corpus research, psycholinguistic experiments, field work); and how to
perform the quantitative and qualitative analyses based on the data collected.
