Overview

Linguistics is the study of language itself. You will investigate how people acquire knowledge about language, how language varies between speakers and geographic regions, and how it influences thinking and the ways in which we interact we each other across the globe.

Our internationally recognised research into language and cognition covers applied and theoretical specialisms. These include acquisition, processing, comprehension, disorders and atypical language development, use, structure, variation, change, communication, maintenance, preservation, teaching, and technologies.
