UiT The Arctic University of Norway / Center for Advanced Study in Theoretical Linguistics (CASTL)

Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education of the Arctic University of Norway houses the Center for Advanced Study in Theoretical Linguistics (CASTL). CASTL was created in June 2002 as a Center of Excellence under the CoE scheme of the Research Council of Norway. For a number of years, the acquisition research group at CASTL/Department of Language and Linguistics has worked on monolingual language acquisition, focusing on linguistic phenomena where there is variation in the input, e.g. word order variation expressing fine distinctions in syntax and information structure. In recent years, there has been an increased focus on variation in a bilingual/multilingual perspective, i.e. bilingual acquisition (2L1), second and third language acquisition (L2 and L3), as well as heritage languages.

Faculty of Humanities (HZF) of the University of Latvia

The Faculty of Humanities (FH) was created in 2010 through the merger of the Faculty of Philology and Arts and the Faculty of Modern Languages. At present, the Faculty of Humanities is the newest UL faculty, but its roots go back to 1919 when alongside faculties of natural and technical sciences, adopted from the Riga Polytechnic Institute, there was formed a faculty of Linguistics and Philosophy whose scientific potential concentrated mainly on the Baltic languages and in particular the Latvian language, literature, history and culture.

According to the FH Statute, the Faculty’s main aim is to organise and implement studies, research and innovation at the UL in such fields as linguistics, literary theory, folkloristics, anthropology, arts (theory and history of theatre), as well as regional and interdisciplinary studies. The motto of the faculty defines its fundamental mission to collect and enhance knowledge for life and work, to cultivate the Latvian language, literature and culture, and to strengthen the traditional cross-cultural connections, promoting their research and development.
