English Linguistics at the Department of English Studies deals with various aspects of language. This includes the study of the English language, but also seeks to gain a general understanding of how language works, how we use language, how it develops, and what different languages have in common. Our section covers a wide range of topics in English linguistics, from theoretical to applied linguistics, including language acquisition, bilingualism/multilingualism, psycholinguistics, corpus linguistics, variation and change, cognitive-functional grammar, discourse analysis and pragmatics.

Our staff are experienced in teaching and offer introductory and advanced courses in their areas of specialization. Research in this area covers a wide range of fields and has an excellent reputation.
