Informed by our own research, teaching at applied linguistics (english) explores the structure and use of language in context, focussing on a broad range of topics including

• functional grammar
• morphology
• phonetics and phonology
• semantics and pragmatics
• discourse analysis
• (socio)linguistic variation
• language acquisition and multilingualism
• neurolinguistics and psycholinguistics

Following a hands-on approach, our courses combine theory and practical exploration, supporting students to enhance their competence in understanding, describing and analysing language.
