About this course

Why choose this course?

This course focuses on language as a system, and discusses how language is used in communication. You will explore how language works and how it is composed of different sub-systems; how we make and interpret meaning; how we communicate in speech, writing and new media; and how we use language to communicate aspects of our identity and culture.

See the course combinations section for more information about the different joint honours options.

What will you study?

You will be introduced to the systematic study of language and, at the same time, to its paramount role in communication. You will investigate the complex relationship between language and culture and society by observing and critically reflecting upon your own experience as a language user and learner. You will discover how we are able to make sense of words and sentences, both spoken and written, and how we understand the world through language.
