<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'>(subject to final approval)<br>
<b><br>
</b>We are pleased to announce that places are still available for 2010
enrolment in our new, campus-based MA in Discourse Studies, which has developed
out of our successful MA in Language Studies. <br>
<br>
This new programme builds on Lancaster’s internationally recognised
strengths in the field of discourse studies. Within this field Lancaster is
best-known for its distinctive approaches to pragmatics, stylistics, and
critical discourse analysis, due to the teaching involvement of Ruth Wodak,
Greg Myers, Elena Semino and Veronika Koller. The degree is specifically
designed to give you the competence to undertake empirical work in discourse
studies which draws on both linguistic and social theory.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>The scheme will </span>help you to realise
your potential, whether you are studying for personal development, further
academic study, or employment in a broad range of areas, including teaching in
the UK and abroad, research, publishing and the media. <o:p></o:p></p>
