Linguistics And Modern Languages

About this course

Linguistics and modern languages is a combination that gives you both a scientific understanding of how language works and practical proficiency in one or more languages other than English. Linguistics is the systematic study of language as a human phenomenon, covering the structures of sound, word, and sentence, the ways language carries meaning, how language is acquired, how it varies across social groups and changes over time, and what the diversity of the world's languages reveals about the range of human cognition. Modern languages complements this with the development of communicative competence in a specific language and an understanding of the culture, literature, and society of the communities that speak it. At Bangor University, this four-year degree includes a foundation year, providing a supported introduction to higher education study and the disciplines before you progress
