There is currently active research in the following areas: descriptive grammar and theoretical syntax, lexicology and lexicography, phonology, pragmatics, and semantics. In addition, Linguistics and English Language sponsors an electronic working papers series, which provides a forum for some of our research output. For full details of our research programme, recent publications by members of faculty and working papers, visit our research page.
We offer supervision in the description and analysis of any language, and we encourage students wishing to work on English and other languages to consult us about what topics and levels of supervision we can offer them. Recently we have been supervising work on Azeri, Tunisian Berber, English, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Judeo-Espanyol, Kenyang, Korean, Setswana, Vietnamese and Yoruba.
