Summary

94% of our research overall in English Language and Literature was assessed to be world leading or internationally excellent (REF 2021)

We offer research supervision in a wide range of subdisciplines of English language and linguistics. We welcome projects on any variety of English and are able to supervise the description and analysis of a range of languages.

We particularly welcome applications in the areas of:

  • descriptive grammar (including typological approaches) and/or theoretical syntax

  • discourse analysis (especially political and media discourse, discourse of identity, corpus linguistic approaches)

  • language variation and change

  • morphology, phonology, orthography

  • pragmatics (including intercultural pragmatics and im/politeness)

  • semantics, lexicology, (meta)lexicography

  • stylistics.

We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
