Students develop the skills to apply corpus analysis tools to investigate and describe pragmatic and discourse phenomena, and to related what is studied to real-world examples of language in use.The course traces the growth of a standardised variety of English since the Anglo-Saxon period and considers how and why Standard English and other varieties have changed and continue to change.Classes will explore the social and cultural factors that have shaped English in different periods, and examine past and present attitudes to aspects of language (such as grammar, lexis, spelling and accent) and language change.In classes we will discuss approaches from within stylistics and discourse analysis, and examine the ways in which specific linguistic choices create variations in style and meaning.The questions of what makes a text, and what makes a 'literary' text, will be explored; we will go on to explore topics including the difference between spoken and written texts, features of language such as deixis and metaphor, and the language of particular authors including Milton and Henry James.The final dissertation is a very important component of the course as it provides the opportunity for students undertake independent research and writing to complete a stand-alone project based on their individual scholarly interests.It consists of 10,000 words and students work on it over the summer for submission at the end of August.Options typically include: This one-term option course considers various aspects of the lexicon of English, including the structure and meaning of words and how this changes, where new words come from, and social aspects of word use.We will discuss topics in morphology, lexical semantics and the history of English, and take a detailed look at the 'life stories' of some English words.A major feature of the course is that students will be trained to apply the principles of syntactic argumentation.This 30-credit course is compulsory for all students.
