Bachelors in Linguistics: foreign languages

Linguistics is the science of different languages, which has a thousand-year history. The modern world is striving for globalization, and in the context of increasing international contacts, the profession of a linguist is of fundamental importance. The intensive development of linguistics falls on the 19th-20th centuries. It was during this period that, in addition to the theoretical aspects of linguistics (morphology, syntax, semantics, etc.), its applied branches were actively developing: lexicography (compilation of dictionaries), stylistics, translation studies, linguistic expertise (for example, in judicial practice), etc. In order to explain what a linguist is in modern times, it is necessary to combine a specialist in languages, a historian, a sociologist, a psychologist, an anthropologist and an ethnographer in one person. Recently, it is thanks to the broad outlook of linguists that many areas of linguistics have appeared: neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics, cognitive linguistics, etc. With the development of information technology, computational linguistics is becoming especially popular - machine translation, information retrieval, corpus linguistics, the creation of electronic dictionaries of various types, etc.
