[Corpora-List] New Masters in English Language at the University of Oxford

[Martin Wynne]

The MSt in English Language is a new one-year taught Masters degree 
programme. It is designed for graduates in English, linguistics or 
another relevant subject who want to study the history, structure and 
uses of the English language at an advanced level, and is a suitable 
preparation for those planning to do doctoral research in the field of 
English language.

Oxford University has a long tradition of English Language study and 
offers excellent facilities, including the extensive resources of the 
Bodleian library. Those teaching on the M.St course are internationally 
reputed experts in fields which range from the early history of English 
to its uses as a global language in the 21st century. English 
lexicography is a particularly strong area of expertise: Oxford 
University Press, which produces a range of dictionaries including the 
Oxford English Dictionary, offers a small number of internships each 
year to students with a special interest in dictionaries and dictionary 
making.

Funding support is available through the Faculty’s News International 
Scholarships, which pay the full cost of tuition plus a maintenance 
grant of approximately £9000. (The scheme is competitive, but all 
applicants for the M.St will automatically be considered.)

The course convenors are Professor Deborah Cameron (Worcester College) 
and Professor Lynda Mugglestone (Pembroke College). Other Faculty 
members who contribute to the teaching of the MSt are Professor 
Charlotte Brewer, Dr Simon Horobin and Professor Suzanne Romaine. All 
are actively involved in English Language research, specializing in 
various aspects of the history, structure and uses of the language.

In addition to the courses provided specifically for the MSt in English 
Language, graduate students are able to attend lectures and research 
seminars offered by the Linguistics Faculty. They have access to the 
extensive holdings of the Bodleian Library, the English Faculty Library 
and the linguistics collection of the Taylorian Library.

Applications to begin the course in October 2012 are open from September 
2011 to March 2012. For further details, how to apply, and where to
