You’ll examine spoken and written data to understand how language works, using tools from core areas of linguistics including syntax, phonetics and phonology, sociolinguistics and semantics. You will apply your knowledge and skills in linguistics to different domains of language study, for example: psycholinguistics, language acquisition, language variation and change, language in interaction, the history of English, forensic linguistics, forensic speech science, and teaching English as a foreign language. Building upon the core skills in linguistic analysis you developed in your first year of study, you can customise your programme of study by specialising in particular areas of interest in your second and final years. You'll be able to take elective modules from another department. All electives are offered subject to departmental approval and timetable availability. You may also take certain language courses offered by Languages for All (LFA) as electives, but there may be restrictions on which LFA levels can be taken at each stage of your degree. Ask us for further details.
