About this course

Linguistics explores how language works. It describes how we create meaning through:

* sounds

* words

* sentences

* conversations

It also studies:

* the uses of language in everyday life

* ways in which language varies across society and evolves over time

* how language is mastered by children

Linguistics has a long history at the University of Edinburgh, and our teaching staff have an excellent reputation for research in this area.

Linguistics is a new subject for nearly all undergraduates, so you will not need any prior knowledge at the beginning of the programme.
