English Language and Linguistics/ Spanish

About this course

English language and linguistics takes language itself as its subject, asking how languages are structured, how they are acquired, how they vary across communities and over time, and what their use reveals about human cognition and social life. It is a discipline that combines the rigour of a science, applying systematic methods to analyse linguistic data, with the interpretive depth of a humanity, examining how language shapes culture, identity, and power. Combining it with Spanish gives you fluency in one of the world's most widely spoken languages alongside a scholarly understanding of how language works. At Glasgow this five-year programme includes both a sandwich year and work placement opportunities, connecting your academic study with professional experience. Glasgow's staff cover a wide range of topics within linguistics, from phonetics and syntax to sociolinguistics and languag
