Description
I kursen ges en översikt över språken i världen, vilka språkfamiljer de tillhör och var de talas. I kursen tas också upp vad som är gemensamt för de mänskliga språken och på vilka sätt de kan skilja sig från varandra, t.ex. inom grammatiken och ljudsystemet. I kursen behandlas olika faktorer som kan orsaka likheter mellan språk, exempelvis släktskap, lån, areala drag och universalier, som har att göra med hur språk fungerar som mänskligt kommunikationsmedel. Stor vikt läggs vid en undersökning där den studerande, individuellt eller i grupp, med hjälp av en enkätbaserad intervju och/eller inspelning analyserar ett språk som han/hon inte tidigare är bekant med.
Included parts
- Diversity of the World's Languages: analytical assignment, 3 credits
- Diversity of the World's Languages: take-home exam, 4.5 credits

How to apply
Lund University uses a national application system run by University Admissions in Sweden. It is only possible to apply during the application periods: October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.
Extended application deadline
Sometimes the application deadline is extended for a specific programme or course. In these cases you will find the message "open for late application" by the programme/course information on universityadmissions.se. You apply with the usual application steps. As long as this message is showing, it is possible to apply, but late applications are processed in order of date, so it is still important to apply as soon as possible. Please note that if the programme/course does not have an extended deadline, it is not possible to apply late.
First or Second Admission Round?
All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.
The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.
