About this course

The English language has a well-recorded history of more than 1,000 years. Its changes can be traced through:

* medieval manuscripts

* text messages

* recordings of spoken English

Using techniques from modern linguistics, you will analyse the structure of written and spoken English and explore how the language has changed in the course of its history.

As well as the study of change in English, we have a strong tradition of investigating variations of the language, including:

* Scots

* distinct dialects of English

* international variations

You will study modern-day English and Scots and identify the similarities and differences between English and other languages.
