Linguistics, Applied Linguistics (Research)

Newcastle University is one of the largest centres for linguistic research in Europe. This gives you the unique opportunity to learn a wide range of methodologies as part of our Linguistics or Applied Linguistics course. You will be exposed to diverse theoretical perspectives, which will enrich your own research.

Linguistics and Applied Linguistics are split across three Schools:

• School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences

• School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics

• School of Modern Languages

Our supervisors' current research interests, projects and publications are available from our staff profiles in each of these Schools.

We offer supervision in the following areas:

• Linguistic Theory

• Language Variation and change

• Language evolution, acquisition and development
