PhD in Applied Linguistics
The PhD in Applied Linguistics is designed to enhance specialised linguistic knowledge through academic study and research.
The programme is suitable for all those interested in exploring how linguistic knowledge can be applied to everyday real-life phenomena such as language learning, language policy or language processing.
The course emphasises state-of-the-art research methodology appropriate for conducting linguistic research projects, using a wide range of linguistic research methods.
We are interested in hearing from students doing projects that link linguistic research with real-life language use in the following broad areas:
- Second language acquisition
- Language learning
- Discourse studies and discourse analysis
- Psycholinguistics
- Syntax
- Semantics
- Phonology
- Lexis
- Sociolinguistics
- Language policy
- Language for specific purposes (e.g. academic, professional)
- Forensic linguistics
- Corpus linguistics
