This course will examine various approaches to analysing discourse and identify the linguistic features of particular discourse modes. It will enable students to analyse a variety of discourse types and distinguish the differences in these discourse types across a range of English language varieties, including most specifically Caribbean varieties. Mode of Delivery: Seminars ASSESSMENT: • 1 in-course Essay 20% • 2 in-course analytical exercises 30% • 1 Research Paper (5000 words) (50%) MPhil in Linguistics Aim: To equip candidates with the necessary theoretical knowledge to conduct advanced research into issues of a specific subdiscipline or combination of sub-disciplines within Linguistics, e.g., Sociolinguistics, Creole Linguistics, Theoretical Linguistics, Applied Linguistics. COURSE LISTING All students are required to pursue a core of coursework to expand and strengthen disciplinary knowledge acquired at undergraduate level. This core shall consist of: Course Code Course Title Credits LING 6005 Development of Theoretical Linguistics 4 LING 6701 Research Methods in Applied Linguistics 4 PROGRAMME Each MPhil student is assigned at least one Supervisor and an Advisory Committee. After completion of this core, students are required to read in their chosen field of study guided by their supervisor and to conduct their research in accordance with agreed upon parameters with their supervisors. Candidates will be expected to show an awareness of the major issues and findings in and be familiar with the most recent positions in the area as they link to earlier-held positions. MPhil candidates must present two (2) graduate seminar papers in the course of their work towards the degree. They will be required to demonstrate extensive knowledge in their field through these presentations. Ultimately their thesis submission should be 40,000-50,000 words on a topic approved by the examiners. After the consideration of his/her thesis by the Examiners, the MPhil candidate may be recommended for the award of the degree; or may be required to make minor corrections to the supervisor’s satisfaction; or may be required to re-submit the thesis; or may be deemed to have failed outright. Candidates registered for the MPhil degree may alternatively be permitted to transfer to the PhD at a later date with credit for coursework already done, if their performance is judged to warrant it after a special assessment seminar, and if the transfer is approved by the Department and the Campus Committee for Graduate Studies and Research. Students may register full- or part-time.
