Overview
Researchers in this cluster conduct corpus and other empirically-based studies of English and other languages. One focus of the group's work, centred on the University Centre for Computer Corpus Research on Language (UCREL), is the application of corpus tools to shed light on long-standing problems in theoretical and applied linguistics.
Areas of specialism in the department include:
- Cognitive Linguistics
- Language change and history of English
- Linguistic typology
- Morphology
- Phonetics
- Phonology
- Syntax
- Corpus linguistics
- Corpora of standard and non-standard languages
- Historical and diachronic corpora
- Learner Corpora
- Corpora and Sociolinguistics/Discourse
- Automatic Content Analysis
We are very happy to receive applications to our research degree programmes from anyone interested in these or different, connected areas.
