With the creation of this doctoral programme research in languages, literatures and cultures is promoted, as well as the support to technology to provide a full range offer of every aspect of language, literary, cultural and linguistic, both historical and applied. The philosophy which has guided since its beginnings the design of the Doctoral Programme Languages, Literatures and Cultures and its Applications has been obtaining the optimum yield to the interdisciplinary which characterises different areas of research such as didactics of languages, the analysis of languages, translation and literary studies. It is necessary to deepen in the research of the different areas noted, and to stablish forms of contact between this research and its professional applicability (linguistic technicians, translators, consultants, writers-editors, literary critics, cultural promoters, editors, etc.). It will thereby contribute to favouring and guaranteeing the proper usage of language, to understand linguistic mechanisms and its socio-cultural context.
