General and Armenian Linguistics
(2018-2020)

-Why did you choose that profession?

-The biggest reason for choosing my profession was my teacher of Armenian language and literature. On his advice, I chose Armenian philology. They choose philology either for literature or for language. From the beginning, the language was closer to my heart. After graduating, I decided that if I continued my studies, it would definitely be in the field of linguistics. On the advice of one of my lecturers, I was admitted to the ISEC NAS RA to study "General and Armenian Linguistics". During my studies I managed to love the profession of linguist so much that now I cannot imagine my future without it.
