This combination of linguistics and modern languages and cultures will deepen your understanding of how language and languages work.
In linguistics you'll learn how to analyse the inner workings of language, and to plot the way languages differ over geographical space and historical time. You'll investigate how language is acquired and taught, and study the latest thinking on the development of languages. Modules range from phonetics and syntax, to the history of language and linguistic thought. You can examine the relationships between language and gender, discourse, and place. Other options explore specialist areas like language acquisition and sociolinguistics. The flexibility of the modern languages part of the degree means you have the option to study either one or two of the 11 different languages we have on offer: Catalan, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Luxembourgish, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. |
