The English language strand of the degree provides you with an understanding of the fundamentals of English and its historical development, examining how language shapes society and society shapes language.The theoretical tools learned on the linguistics element of the course will enable you to engage with a scientific study of language and explore human cognitive abilities to successfully communicate with each other.
