英语语言与语言学

 Our English Language and Linguistics postgraduate degree gives you
an excellent opportunity to study the complex workings of language and
explore its central role in society. With the guidance of expert staff,
you’ll explore how language works, how people use it, what people use it
for, where it came from and how it changes.You’ll learn to carry out independent research and engage with other
researchers by writing, debating and delivering oral and written
presentations. You’ll also play an active part in our regular
Linguistics Reading Group meetings, which discuss articles on important
and controversial linguistic topics.The course also provides a grounding in theories and methods that are
essential for a range of careers. You’ll graduate with an expert
knowledge of contemporary linguistic theories and their application in a
wider cultural context – including both generative and cognitive
approaches to linguistic description, as well as the contexts in which
these theories operate.
