## Overview

Are you the kind of person who notices things about language? Do you like words? Do you notice different people’s use of language, their accents, their word choices, maybe even their grammar? Did you like talking about grammar in school? If so, then linguistics is for you.

Here are some of the questions that linguists ask:

Why are there so many different languages? What do they have in common? How do children acquire language? What happens when we have problems using language, for example after a stroke? What is meaning and where do we get it from? How do we produce and comprehend sentences? What are the cultural, social and ideological processes that underlie the way we use language?

If you want to find out more about these questions, apply for Language and Linguistics.

## About this course

### Rated 5 Stars: Excellent for Teaching

The Language and Linguistics course aims to give students foundational knowledge of the areas of linguistic theory and its applications. These areas include phonetics, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, historical linguistics, language acquisitionand discourse analysis. Primary teaching methods involve a mix of lectures and seminars, both of which are heavily centred around working with examples of language data.

In addition, a central element of a linguistics programme is the experience of independently collecting and analysing data and we aim to develop this skill in our students from the very first semester of the degree. Independent study and reading is also essential and the necessary skills for independent study are developed over the three years of the degree. Assessment is by a mixture of data analysis exercises, essay based assignments, data centred research projects and formal examinations.

The teaching team is made up of international, research-active linguists, educated in major Universities of Europe and the US.

We have designed our course to give you the flexibility to undertake a pathway which best suits your needs, so Language & Linguistics can be studied in conjunction with Counselling Studies as an optional specialism. This allows you to combine your interest in language with the study of a vocational area in which effective use of language is central.

This course is excellent preparation for further training in Speech and Language Therapy.

In second year, you can study abroad for a semester, for example in Switzerland, Germany or the US.

The programme offers students the opportunity to take up placements both locally and internationally in which their linguistics skills are applied in a range of English language teaching contexts.

The course lasts three years full-time. This course is also available by part-time study that can take a total of five years.

Language and linguistics is a very mixed discipline. It is technical and analytical; it also requires personal reflection and observation, combined with a challenging attitude. The most important attribute that a candidate can have is a genuine and passionate interest in language and language use.

### Attendance

#### Investigating Ellipsis

This module is optional

This module studies "ellipsis", or abbreviated versions of utterances. To a first approximation, ellipsis is possible in the context of an "identical" previous utterance, but the precise conditions are difficult to pin down and span the full array of linguistic domains. The course will survey a range of elliptical phenomena, with students evaluating the ability of various theoretical approaches to account for them.

#### Dissertation in Linguistics

This module enables students to exercise and evaluate their research abilities. It incorporates specific aspects of completing a research project, after topic selection and question identification, effectively building on CMM571, Literature Review in Linguistics. The module further builds upon the students' understanding of research design and methods gained in Years 1 and 2. This module trains students in completing an undergraduate research project.

### Optional Modules

Optional modules are reviewed on a Programme each year and we may change the options available to you, to reflect our staff expertise, changes in Programme requirements or to reflect feedback that we have received from other Students, employers or other interested parties.

If your Programme contains optional modules, you will be provided with a list of these in good time so that you can choose the options right for you each year. Sometimes, we may not be able to run a particular optional module because not enough Students sign up for it or because a member of staff is not available to teach a module.

Where this may be the case, we will let you know when you are provided with your option choices, and you will be able to choose an alternative if one of your selected modules does not run.

A Language and Linguistics degree is also more specifically relevant if you are interested in a career in Speech Therapy; Audiology; Teaching; Teaching English as a Second Language; Publishing; Law or Professional Communication. It is also a subject which will provide you with an impressive range of transferable skills highly relevant to the workplace.

Our website includes some graduate profiles so you can read why some of our students chose this programme and how they got from the degree to their current profession.
