English Language and Linguistics MA

... United Kingdom
... University of Chester (Warrington)

Course Overview

Advanced knowledge of grammar and phonology coupled with practical application and exploration of English in context €“ e.g. language and identity, discourse analysis, English in education €“ forms the core of our MA course. You will be given expert supervision and guidance in completing your own research-based thesis on a specialist topic of your choosing. Why study this course with us? Our cutting-edge MA course is delivered by a dynamic team of linguists, each with their own research specialisms. Our range of expertise includes corpus linguistics (computer-assisted discourse analysis), phonetics and phonology (useful for sociolinguistic research), cognitive stylistics (how our minds process fictional and non-fictional texts), and critical discourse analysis (e.g. ideology in the media). Students can also explore conflicts and controversies in the discipline and contribute to our online blog (see languagedebates.wordpress.com). Our up-to-date English Language research facilities will allow you to undertake data-based projects using some of the latest specialist software (e.g. for acoustic phonetics and corpus linguistic analysis).
