Courses: Linguistics

BA/L (Q100)

Linguistics is the systematic study of human language. Superficially, there鈥檚 huge variation among the world鈥檚 languages, and linguists not only describe the diverse characteristics of individual languages but also explore properties which all languages share and which offer insight into the human mind.听The study of linguistics draws on methods and knowledge from a wide range of disciplines. For instance, the study of meaning draws on philosophy, the analysis of the speech signal uses methods from physics and engineering, and the study of language acquisition draws on psychology.听This variety is one of the things that makes linguistics fascinating: one day you might be poring over a medieval text for evidence of how the grammar of a language has changed, and the next, learning about how the larynx creates sound energy for speech, or how we can record brain responses in a categorisation task.

At 澳门六合彩开奖记录 you will study the core components of linguistic theory, such as phonetics and phonology, syntax and semantics, and you will also make use of knowledge and expertise drawn from disciplines as diverse as computer sciences, philosophy, physics, biology, sociology, psychology and neuroscience. We encourage a balanced approach to developing skills in the discipline, and we have state-of-the-art facilities to enrich your studies by enabling you to put what you have learnt into practice and to conduct your own theoretical or experimental project.
