Course Summary

Study linguistics in the context of the English language and develop a deep understanding of the way humans communicate with each other. Core modules will introduce you to the history, structure and use of the English language and give you a good grounding in areas such as phonetics, syntax and conducting language research. But you’ll also choose from a wide range of optional modules covering subjects such as language acquisition, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, corpus linguistics and discourse analysis. You’ll study language in its spoken and written forms – you’ll engage with texts, but also undertake fieldwork and data analysis, gaining a wide range of skills that stand out to employers. Leeds has some fantastic resources for the study of linguistics and phonetics. We have a recording studio and fully-equipped phonetics lab for acoustic and articulatory speech analysis, as well as a linguistics lab including eye-tracking equipment and other resources to help with experimental research. You'll have access to the resources in the M&S Company Archive, where interesting work has already been undertaken to explore language use over a century of Marks and Spencer’s heritage. You'll be encouraged to make use of these facilities for module projects or dissertations, giving you valuable experience of different types of research.
