Linguistics and Literature share a common object of study: the manifestations of language as a means of representation and a system of expression. Building on this common foundation, Linguistics focuses on analyzing the structure of language, studying its historical evolution, and examining the relationships between language and society. Literature, for its part, focuses on the creative mechanisms that enable the use of language for aesthetic purposes, the formation of discursive traditions, and the social role of literary works.

Thus, drawing on the cultural and linguistic distinctiveness that defines Peru, this program focuses, on the one hand, on the study of Spanish (specifically the Peruvian variety) and the Andean and Amazonian languages, and, on the other hand, on the study of literary theory and of Spanish American and Peruvian literature from the colonial period, the 19th century, and the contemporary era.
