Tag der Sprachen am 11. November 2014 an der Uni Graz

Wie lernt man Kyrillisch in 45 Minuten? Warum gibt es Akzente und was drücken sie aus? Wie „geht“ Jugendsprache? Am 11. November 2014 dreht sich an der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz ab 13 Uhr am „Tag der Sprachen“ alles um die Welt der Wörter. Interessierte können bei freiem Eintritt in Workshops und Vorlesungen beispielsweise in die „magische Literatur“ eintauchen oder bei „Tales of Terror“ feinen Grusel verspüren.

Zudem bieten Lehrende der Geisteswissenschaftlichen Fakultät Schnupperkurse in verschiedenen Sprachen, wie etwa Türkisch, an. Derzeit umfasst das Studienangebot der Uni Graz 15 Sprachen, von Arabisch bis Ungarisch, inklusive der Österreichischen Gebärdensprache. Und das Interesse daran ist ungebrochen: Aktuell sind rund 5.400 Studierende für ein Sprachstudium inskribiert, 125 Personen studieren Sprachwissenschaft.

Tag der Sprachen
Zeit: Dienstag, 11. November 2014, ab 13 Uhr
Ort: Mehrzwecksaal, Universitätszentrum Wall, Merangasse 70, 8010 Graz
