Why Lancaster?
How does the English language evolve? Why are there different dialects and different languages? What does it take to construct a joke – and is humour universal? Studying this course, you'll discover the answers and more as you learn about linguistic frameworks and their applications to English.
Unravel a range of areas
If you’re fascinated by linguistics and also want to focus on English language, this is the course for you. Joining one of the country’s largest departments in these areas, you’ll explore everything from the vocal anatomy and physiology that allows us to speak, to how English grammar has developed over time.
Linguistic awareness is an advantage when working for international and multicultural organisations. You’ll develop the analytical and investigative skills valued by employers at publishers, educational institutions, management consultancies, the media, and more.
Experts in the field
The size of our department means we offer a wide range of optional modules. Whether you want to analyse the use of language in English media or how a native Russian speaker thinks compared to a Thai speaker, you’ll find an expert who specialises in your area of interest.
Our world-leading academics will share their expertise with you in small classes designed to challenge you as a linguist. They’ve even written in-depth textbooks for students studying at Lancaster and beyond.
