Announcements&Events News

The Department of Azerbaijani Language and Literature is a part of the School of Philology and Translation. The academic staff of the department includes 2 associate professors, 3 PhD holders in philology, and 4 lecturers.

The department offers courses that teach students the modern structure of the Azerbaijani language in terms of phonetics, lexicon, and grammar, as well as the historical development of the language. These subjects are both theoretical and practical in nature. The courses explore current issues in linguistics, the nature and functions of language, research methods in linguistics, and internal linguistic structures. In addition to literary language, Azerbaijani dialects are also studied, which is significant for understanding the historical development of the language.

The course “Turkology” identifies the place of Turkic languages within the world language system. Another subject taught by the department, “Business and Academic Communication in the Azerbaijani Language,” is offered across all faculties and majors at Western Caspian University.

Courses in literature cover the developmental stages of Azerbaijani literature from ancient times to the modern era. Alongside this, students are introduced to prominent literary figures from Europe, America, Russia, and other countries.
