Faculty of Arts
The Faculty of Arts consists of ten departments in the areas of language and culture, history, history of arts, linguistics and communication and information studies, which together cater for about 2,400 students and collaborate closely in teaching and research.
Research at the Faculty of Arts is embedded in two research institutes: the Institute for Historical, Literary and Cultural Studies (HLCS) and the Centre for Language Studies (CLS). State-of-the-art research facilities are available to all researchers.
The Sign Language Linguistics research group headed by Onno Crasborn forms part of CLS, and has a 15-year history of deaf-hearing collaboration on the study of NGT (Sign Language of the Netherlands). The group is active in linguistic analysis and psycholinguistic studies of NGT, the creation of language resources such as Signbank and the Corpus NGT, and the study of Kata Kolok.
To facilitate deaf-hearing interaction with people outside the group, Dutch public services provide good interpreting services for any type of meeting, including conference visits and data collection travel abroad if needed.
