Course description
Imagine you could take your innermost thoughts and insert them into someone else‰Ûªs mind. Well, you already have the ability to do this: it is called language. How do we learn how to speak and write? Where do words come from? Is the language currently being corrupted or is linguistic change gr8? By studying English Language you will explore these questions and more‰Û_
You will learn to analyse texts effectively while applying a range of theories and using detailed linguistic terminology. As well as texts studied in class, you will also be encouraged to select your own texts! You will explore how spoken, written and multimodal texts are influenced by context and both reflect and construct personal identities. The language analysed will be incredibly diverse including everything from a short informal text message between friends to a formal speech by the Prime Minister in the House of Commons.
