Description:

Funding Opportunities for Linguistics and English Language within the School of 
Languages, Linguistics and Cultures at The University of Manchester 

Manchester is an international centre for linguistics and English language. The 
Department 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. Particular strengths in 
the discipline include: endangered languages, field linguistics and language 
documentation, the linguistics of English (both synchronic and diachronic), 
phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax (especially lexical-functional 
grammar and construction grammar), typology, language contact and 
sociolinguistics, historical linguistics (especially English, Romance and 
Germanic), (formal) semantics and pragmatics, and corpus and computational 
linguistics. More information about the department and the research interests of 
its staff can be found at http://www.llc.manchester.ac.uk/subjects/lel/ <http://www.llc.manchester.ac.uk/subjects/lel/>  

The postgraduate community in the School of Languages, Linguistics and Cultures

facilities and excellent support within a high-quality research environment. In
