About

The The University of Manchester Department of Linguistics and English Language is an international centre for Linguistics, with 22full-time members of staff and approximately 35 Postgraduate Research students. 

Overview

It is virtually unique in the UK and beyond in the breadth of subject areas and theoretical approaches represented by its members, many of whom are internationally renowned scholars in their specialisms.

Potential PhD projects in Linguistics may fall into any department member's areas of expertise. These include phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax (Lexical-Functional Grammar, Role and Reference Grammar, Construction Grammar, and Minimalism), (formal) semantics, pragmatics, historical linguistics, dialectology, the linguistics of English, language contact, variational sociolinguistics, child language acquisition, field linguistics and language documentation, typology, quantitative corpus-based approaches and forensic linguistics. In their research, members of the department combine the advancement of theoretical approaches with a strong concern for their empirical and methodological foundations. 

Each member of staff also has a special interest in particular languages and language families, including major European languages as well as lesser known languages of Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Australia. We do not, however, supervise projects with a focus on second language teaching and learning.

Career opportunities

The The University of Manchester has its own dedicated Careers Service that you would have full access to as a student and for two years after you graduate. At Manchester you will have access to a number of opportunities to help support you with your goals for the future.

Programme Structure

Teaching and learning

  • Supervision will involve regular meetings with two supervisors, of which records will be kept. Research Panels (consisting of at least three academic staff, including the supervisors) are held once per semester to monitor progress. 
  • In addition, PGR students in Linguistics and English Language are supported by a strong research culture in the department and excellent opportunities for research training. Our PhD students are part of the diverse and dynamic postgraduate community in the new Graduate Schoolof the School of Arts, Languages and Cultures. 
  • They benefit from training offered in general research methods in Arts , Humanities and Social Sciences as well as subject-specific masterclasses, reading groups and a PhD seminar series for the discussion of ongoing work, and an annual postgraduate conference in Linguistics.
