What the college says

Language is a human invention; without it, social life could hardly exist in the forms we know today. One important characteristic is the way we, as users of language, take it for granted. This course will train you to become a linguistic observer and will help you develop expertise in applying knowledge about language to your own and other people’s uses of the spoken and written word. This will include the skill of forensically analysing spoken and written text in terms of lexis (words) and syntax (grammar), alongside other levels of language. You will learn to think linguistically and to use both spoken and written language with greater proficiency; an invaluable skill for life, whatever you choose to do with it.
