Teaching
Multilingual Computational Linguistics targets four core areas, namely Comparative Linguistics, Computational Linguistics, Scientific Problem Solving, and Scientific Programming. With these four areas as background, we contribute to the education at bachelor and master level at the University of Passau.
Research
Our research focuses on computer-assisted language comparison in all its breadth, with a specific emphasis on evolutionary, typological, and cognitive aspects of linguistic variation. We embrace interdisciplinarity and collaborate with a wide range of research areas.
Chair
Prof. Dr. Johann-Mattis List studied Comparative Linguistics, Russian Philology, and Sinology at HU and FU Berlin, wrote his dissertation at the HHU Düsseldorf in General Linguistics and his habilitation at FSU Jena in Comparative Linguistics. In his work he uses computational method to formalize classical approaches to the comparison of language and to increase their efficiency.

Open Research Europe - Webinar, February 13th
Did you know that ERC-funded researchers can submit their research outputs to Open Research Europe (ORE), the European Commission’s own Open Access publishing platform for research? Join us on Thursday 13th February from 11h-12:30h CET for an introductory webinar where the ORE team will present the platform in more detail, explain how to submit your ERC research, and give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have on potential submissions. You will also hear from Professor Johann-Mattis List, an ERC grantee who has published and reviewed several papers on Open Research Europe. He will speak about his experiences as an author publishing on the platform. Find more
