Description:

The Department of Language and Communication Studies at the University of East
Anglia (UEA) invites applications from students wishing to pursue postgraduate
research in language and communication (October 2017 entry). 

In line with UEA's tradition of interdisciplinary research, our research and
supervision focus on four interrelated and complementary areas of enquiry:

- Translating and interpreting, particularly: ethics and 'real-world'
translation practice in legal, health, sports and other professional contexts;
pragmatics-driven approaches to audio-visual translation and film subtitling;
the pragmatics and translation of religious and literary texts. 

- Language, intercultural communication and cross-cultural pragmatics,
particularly: communication practice in media, political, religious,
educational and professional contexts with specific reference to cross- and
inter-cultural variation, politeness, gender and the origin and resolution of
conflict in international politics and media; ancient Egyptian philology and
sociolinguistics; language teaching and curriculum development research with a
focus on intercultural communication pedagogy and citizenship education;
theoretical pragmatics, semantics-pragmatics interface and formal models of
dialogue.

- SFL-based or other forms of (critical) discourse and metaphor analysis,
specifically ideological representation and power differentials in the
discourse of media, advertising, politics and professional communication; the
analysis of empathy and person/patient-centred communication in health or
other professional domains.  

- Cross-cultural cognitive linguistics, specifically the relationship between
cognitive and psychological processes and language production and reception,
including forensic linguistics and second language acquisition and
applications to translation and interpreting practice.

We also have strong interdisciplinary links with colleagues working in other
specialist areas at UEA, including literary translation, literature and
creative writing, film, television and media studies, politics, philosophy,
education, health and business. These relationships enable us to supervise
students wishing to write their theses on areas that cross disciplinary
boundaries.
