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.
