Linguistics MA

The MA in Linguistics is for
graduates with a background
in language and related areas,
looking to explore in depth
the theory and methodology
of linguistics, from the study of
sound (phonetics and phonology)
to the study of words, sentences
and meaning (morphology,
syntax, semantics and
pragmatics).
You are able to develop your own
areas of interest and engage with
aspects of your chosen discipline,
which are informed by the latest
research and scholarship. This
programme offers a smooth
transition to doctoral work.

English Language and Linguistics
is the main contributor to the
Centre for Language and
Linguistics. Founded in 2007,
the Centre promotes
interdisciplinary collaboration in
linguistic research and teaching.

the members of ELL but also
other SECL members interested
in the study of language, as well
as researchers in philosophy,
computing, psychology and
anthropology. This reflects the
varied routes by which individuals
come to a love of language
and an interest in the various
subdisciplines of linguistics.
