language, experimental findings, and fieldwork.

but not limited to - some other area of Linguistics and English language
studies such as dialectology, historical linguistics, the history of English,
media language, phonetics, pragmatics, psycholinguistics and semantics.
Informal inquiries may be made to and further particulars obtained from Prof.
Tony McEnery, Head of the Department of Linguistics and Modern English
