Master of Arts in Linguistics and Social Anthropology
Program Overview
MA (Hons) Linguistics and Social Anthropology is a joint programme that will enable you to examine the diversity of human culture and communication, both ancient and modern.
Linguistics
Linguistics examines how language works. It describes how sounds, words, sentences and conversations combine to express and create meaning.
It also studies:
- The uses of language in everyday life
- The ways in which language varies across society and evolves over time
- How language is mastered by children
Social anthropology
Social anthropology is the study of human behaviour in living societies.
Understanding a living society and its members involves participant observation. This means spending many months, or even years, living with and sharing the experiences of the people being studied.
