    In Depth

    What will I study?

    In Year 1 you will be introduced to major aspects of English language, including its structure, its sound system and its variation as well as social issues such as the interpretation and analysis of accent and dialect. The core modules introduce and consolidate fundamental skills in the analysis and description of the English language, promoting critical engagement with a range of attitudes to language in use, and a heightened awareness of the significant links between language and society.

    Other first year modules will develop your knowledge and understanding of the different levels of language and give you an opportunity to explore how language is used to make meaning. You will also explore how language differs from other types of communication and be introduced to how linguistic information is understood and processed.

    In Years 2 and 3 you will study the history and development of the English language, and extend your knowledge by selecting from a wide range of options which may include grammar, discourse analysis, forensic linguistics, Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), language development, psycholinguistics, and a range of sociolinguistic aspects such as gender, sexuality and identity. Additionally, you can propose a dissertation topic on a linguistic phenomenon that interests you, in which you will conduct independent research during your third year with one-to-one support from an expert supervisor.

    How will I study?

    Teaching and learning activities vary depending on the module, so sometimes you will encounter lectures and seminar-based learning, and other times you will have workshops or student-led presentations, independent research projects and group activities. Our virtual learning environment will also give you access to extensive online resources which will support your learning throughout your three years. Whatever areas of English language you study, you will benefit from support and guidance throughout your time with us.

    How will I be assessed?

    Assessment involves a mixture of coursework and formal tests or examinations. Most emphasis is placed on work produced in your own time or formally presented in class. Typically, assessment will take the form of essays, linguistic analyses and reports, class tests, individual/group presentations and group work. You will also have the opportunity to work independently on projects supporting your future career development.

    Who will be teaching me?

    You will be taught by a group of dedicated and enthusiastic tutors who are experts in their field. They teach English Language at undergraduate and postgraduate level and also publish books, contribute to academic journals and speak at international conferences. They are committed to providing students with an excellent learning experience and update modules regularly to ensure that they are current and relevant. You will be carefully guided, no matter what area of English you decide to study.

    A Great Study Environment

    LNG2131Introduction to Sociolinguistic Variation (20 credits)

    Introduction to Sociolinguistic Variation immerses you in sociolinguistics, the study of language and society. At the heart of the discipline is the knowledge and understanding that there is no one ‘type’ of language used by every speaker within a given community but that it differs between social groups and contexts. Language use may vary based on factors such as age, gender, class, ethnicity and geography and this module will examine the relationship between language and these categories. Variationist sociolinguistics examines how language is used across society and explains why this variation exists. It relies on quantitative methodologies to draw results from large pools of data, and on a broader, interdisciplinary understanding of society and culture to interpret those results.


    Assessment: Coursework: 90%, Practical(s): 10%.

    LNG2132Language of Shakespeare and His Time (20 credits)

    Language of Shakespeare and His Time enables you to explore distinctive Early Modern English linguistic features (including morphology, syntax and pronunciation) of Shakespeare’s work in great detail, and to compare them with corresponding features in present-day Standard British English. You will identify linguistic distinctions in Shakespeare’s language which are no longer active today, analyse the differences between Early Modern English and contemporary English in terms of vocabulary, grammatical structure and usage, and distinguish between the language of Shakespeare’s time and Shakespeare’s own creative use of the language.


    Assessment: Coursework: 100%.

    LNG2133Analysing Discourse (20 credits)

    Analysing Discourse takes a linguistic approach to the examination of discourse, both written and spoken.

Furthermore, the module presents a linguistic approach to the study of the communication, creation, maintenance and contestation of ideologies via discourse.


    Assessment: Coursework: 100%.

    LNG2134Early English (600-1500) (20 credits)

    Early English (600-1500) provides an opportunity to gain greater familiarity with linguistic features of Old and Middle English and to undertake in-depth analysis of the language of writers such as Chaucer and Gower and the writers of Beowulf, Piers Plowman and other major texts of the period. The module will enable you to understand the complexities of describing the English of an age before the rise of standard forms of the language were widely adopted. Your awareness of major literary texts written in English will also be increased.


    Assessment: Coursework: 100%.

    LNG2135Phonetics and Phonology (20 credits)

    Phonetics and Phonology provides you with the opportunity to acquire practical and theoretical knowledge and skills in the description and classification of speech sounds. Using English as its focus, the module begins with the study of articulatory phonetics, focusing on segmental and suprasegmental features of accent. You will then use this knowledge as a foundation to begin the study of basic phonology. Concepts, such as phonemes, allophones and the syllable are discussed in some detail.


    Assessment: Coursework: 40%, Practical(s): 60%.

    LNG2136Modern English Structure and Usage (20 credits)

    Modern English Structure and Usage teaches aspects of modern English grammar (morphology and syntax) or structure, and examines their interaction with variational aspects of modern English usage. You will acquire an extensive basis of expertise in the key area of grammatical description, becoming familiar with an appropriate level of grammatical terminology and developing important practical skills in detailed grammatical analysis.

    LNG2139Child Language Development (20 credits)

    Child Language Development offers an overview of the processes involved in first language development. The module considers how children develop language in terms of perception and comprehension, phonetics and phonology, lexis and grammar. You will also be introduced to, and examine, theoretical accounts of how we acquire our first language. This will include consideration of themes around nativism and evidence-based approaches.


    Assessment: Coursework: 100%.

    If you studied a Language module in Year 1, you may wish to study a further Language module in Year 2. This would form an integral part of your degree in place of one of the optional modules above.

    Year 3

    You will select two of the following modules:

    LNG3133Psycholinguistics (20 credits)

    Psycholinguistics explores the ways that we understand and produce language, from a cognitive perspective. With a primary focus on the English language, the module questions whether there is evidence for a developmental trajectory of child language comprehension and production and considers whether we can distinguish between linguistic competence and performance in either oral or written communication. You will also discover a variety of psycholinguistic methodologies, analyse how we teach and evaluate particular linguistic skills and abilities, and examine whether we can identify individuals early in life who are at risk of a slower rate of language development and give them appropriate support.


    Assessment: Coursework: 100%.

    LNG3143An Introduction to Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) (20 credits)

    An Introduction to Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) examines the principles and practice of good English language teaching. Issues dealt with during the module include the history of language teaching and learning, individual learner differences, grammatical terminology, materials development and planning English for Speakers of Other Languages’ programmes and lessons.


    Assessment: Coursework: 100%.

    LNG3151Historical Linguistics (20 credits)

    Historical Linguistics centres around the questions of how and why language changes. This will be a platform through which to explore not only language and its structure, but also human (pre)history, society, cognition and psychology. Historical linguistics is one of the most dynamic fields in linguistics. It deals with many of the same issues and questions as other areas of the field, such as sociolinguistics, but takes a diachronic approach to them, looking at change over time. In order to understand how language works in the present day, it is crucial to achieve an understanding of how it has worked in the past and what the continuities are between past and present.


    Assessment: Coursework: 80%, Practical(s): 20%.

    LNG3153Language, Gender and Sexuality (20 credits)

    Language, Gender and Sexuality enables you to analyse and account for the ways in which gender and sexuality are constructed and represented through language use. Butler’s influential theory that gender is performative and that it emerges through discourse is key to the approach taken in this module. You will explore the diverse linguistic means by which gender and sexual identities are linguistically constructed and performed. The module will also encourage you to examine a variety of discourse types, such as spontaneous conversation, magazines, children’s literature, and film, in order to interrogate the ways in which gender and sexual identities are linguistically represented, regulated and constrained. In addition to this, the intersectionality of language, gender and sexuality with other aspects of social identity, such as ethnicity, age, and social class, will be explored.


    Assessment: Coursework: 80%, Practical(s): 20%.

    You will select a further 80 credits from the following modules:

    LNG3142Bilingualism (20 credits)

    Bilingualism investigates bilingualism as a socially and culturally contextualised phenomenon. The module begins by identifying processes involved in the acquisition of more than one language in different contexts, such as within the family and community and within various formal educational settings. At the level of individual language use, you will examine conversational code-switching in the light of current research findings. At the level of communities and societies, you will explore different models for the functional distribution of languages and attempts for language planning. The focus of the module is on bilingualism as a worldwide phenomenon but attention is given to language diversity and the use of languages other than English in the UK.


    Assessment: Coursework: 100%.

    LNG3144Beyond English (20 credits)

    Beyond English takes a typological approach to language. The module enables you to understand the major features of the structure of English at a more universal level, in terms of the ways in which the features of English phonetics, phonology, morphosyntax, semantics and its writing system compare with the same features in other numerically significant or otherwise relevant languages.


    Assessment: Coursework: 50%, Written Exam(s): 50%.

    LNG3145Language and Identity (20 credits)

    Language and Identity explores a variety of past and present approaches to the study of language and identity. You will examine how different identities are constructed and look at their intrinsic relationship to language and other socio-cultural phenomena. Placing a strong emphasis on the symbolic social value of language differentiation, the aim of the module is to make you aware of the importance of promoting more tolerant attitudes to language variation in society and reducing linguistic prejudices, a perspective that will be essential for those intending to develop a career in educational contexts.


    Assessment: Coursework: 70%, Practical(s): 30%.

    LNG3148Language Dissertation (40 credits)

    Language Dissertation involves the completion of an 8,000-9000 word independent (but supervised) study of an area of language of interest to you. You will learn how to research and write about a topic agreed with your supervisor, and produce a well organised and well-structured piece of research. Potential topics which could be explored in a dissertation include, for example, phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, sociolinguistics, historical linguistics, child language acquisition, spoken discourse analysis, psycholinguistics, language in relation to gender and sexuality, language pathology, language and pedagogy, dialectology, language contact, creolisation, place-name studies, bilingualism, or contrastive grammar.


    Assessment: Coursework: 100%.

    LNG3152Forensic Linguistics (20 credits)

    Forensic Linguistics recognises that the law is overwhelmingly a linguistic institution. Laws are coded in language and the concepts that are used to construct law are accessible only through language.  Legal processes, such as court cases, police investigations, and the management of prisoners take place almost exclusively though language. Forensic linguistics concerns the application of linguistics to describe and analyse language and discourse in the legal process.  This module takes a broad view of the subject in order to examine a wide interface between language and the law.


    Assessment: Coursework: 100%.

    If you studied Language modules in Years 1 and 2, you may wish to study a further Language module in Year 3. This would form an integral part of your degree in place of one of the optional modules above.
