The Centre for Linguistics (CL) was officially established on 12th January 2022 as a multidisciplinary hub designed to support research and teaching within the various linguistic and language-related disciplines at the University of Macau.

Macao is a uniquely multicultural and multilingual city, and exceptionally well-suited as a place to study linguistics. Although linguistics is a diverse and multifaceted discipline, it is, in fact, one of the University of Macau’s strongest and most highly-ranked disciplines of research and publication. The Centre for Linguistics aims to support the work of the many productive and influential linguists working within the academic field of linguistics.

The Centre for Linguistics is formally part of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, but the Centre seeks to create a platform to unite and engage the interests of various linguists working within different academic units at the University of Macau. UM linguists are scattered over several departments across several of UM’s Faculties, including the FAH Departments of Chinese Language and Literature, English, Portuguese, the Centre for Japanese Studies, and the Faculties of Education, Science and Technology, Social Sciences, and Health Sciences.

The Centre for Linguistics organizes and develops available resources related to linguistics at UM and promotes excellence in linguistic research, publication and education, in addition to collaborations and international visibility. The Centre is committed to fostering high-calibre research in linguistics and to developing leadership in the discipline.

We look forward to welcoming you here whether you are a new student, a new colleague, a collaborator or a visitor.

         澳門大學的語言學研究中心正式成立於2022年1月12日，是我校為推動語言學及相關學科的研究與教學設立的跨語種多學科研究中心。

         澳门通行著多種語言，並存著多種文化，擁有獨特的城市氣質，素享“多元文化的鮮活博物館”和“多種語言的天然試驗室”之聲名，是研究語言的接觸與變異、不同語言的相互影響與融合的經典場所。

         澳門大學語言學研究中心雖然行政管理直屬人文學院，實質上是跨學院建設、跨學科融合的學術研究平台。本校雖沒有單獨設立語言學系，但是我們的語言學研究長期以來都是澳門大學研究與出版成果最突出、國際排名最高的學科之一，擁有一大批成就卓著且影響巨大的語言學家。這些語言學家分散於本校人文學院、社會科學學院、教育學院、科技學院和健康科學學院，尤其是人文學院的中國語言文學系、英文系、葡文系以及日本研究中心。

          語言學研究中心致力於整合澳門大學現有的語言學研究資源，推動包括學術刊物和學術叢書在內的跨語種學術发表與學術出版，引領語言學及相關學科的未來發展，提升語言學研究與語言學教學的素質和水平，擴大本校語言學學科在國際學術界的知名度與影響力。

          我們熱烈歡迎您的報讀、加盟、合作、參訪！
