On this course, students will study one of the key aspects of being human – the ability to use language.
Students will examine how languages differ and what elements they share, as well as developing knowledge of the historical and cultural aspects of the English language in particular.
The course provides a rare opportunity to combine in-depth formal linguistic study with a consideration of the ways in which the English language is used and how it reflects its social context. As a result, the course nurtures research and analytical skills at the same time as enhancing abilities with the English language.
Students will develop knowledge and understanding of how the English language works in terms of its structure, how it has changed over time and how it's employed in different spoken and written contexts. Knowledge of English will be informed and contextualised by wider study of language as a human faculty. Students will examine what languages have in common and how they vary in terms of their grammatical structures and their sound systems.
