| Linguistics is concerned with how languages evolve, are structured and what they have in common. It also studies how languages are acquired and used. This course places emphasis on English, with examples from other languages where appropriate. Linguistics is devoted to the scientific study of natural language and our programme enables students to develop a sound knowledge of both theoretical and applied perspectives. The core elements of the course teach you about sentence structure (syntax), meaning (semantics and pragmatics) and pronunciation (phonetics and phonology) and you will also learn about language use and variation in different social contexts, the media, and intercultural settings. In Spanish, emphasis is placed on communicating effectively and developing transferable skills such as translating, interpreting, and interview techniques and practical language classes embrace speaking, listening, reading and writing. If you take Spanish as a major or equal subject you will be required to spend your third year abroad; this could be a study or work placement or a British Council assistantship. After this year, you return to MMU to study for your final year. If Spanish is your minor subject the course will be three years with no period of residence abroad. |
