PostgraduateCourse summary
Our MRes Experimental Linguistics provides tailored support for the researcher-in-training at the interface of theoretical and experimental work in linguistics. Compared to our MA courses, our MRes programmes offer more flexibility and fewer taught modules, as the emphasis of your course is on your dissertation and individual research assignments. You must have a draft research proposal at your application stage, and a supervisor is assigned to you to guide your choice of modules and work on your dissertation. On this course, specialist modules enable you to gain expertise in the research methodology and experimental design required to conduct empirical research in linguistics. You develop your ability to design experiments, collect and analyse data, and critique recent experimental studies, as well as exploring essential qualitative and statistical techniques. You also choose from a range of topics across our core areas of linguistics, and in psycholinguistics and language acquisition, including:
- Multilingualism and Language Disorders
- Theoretical and descriptive phonology
- Experimental design and analysis
- Music, language and the brain
- Syntactic theory
Modules
You can tailor your learning experience with a choice of optional modules. More information and these can be found on the University of Essex website.
