The Master of Arts Programme in Linguistics features an interdisciplinary approach to language study. It is designed to introduce students to current theories in linguistics and their various applications to language typology, language acquisition, language and modality, language teaching as well as culture and society, which are presented in a comparative framework. The programme consists of three streams, namely, (i) the General Linguistics Stream, (ii) the Language Acquisition and Bilingualism Stream, and (iii) the Sign Linguistics Stream.
The programme aims to:
- Help students develop sensitivity towards the complexities of language structure and use;
- Develop students’ understanding of the characteristic properties of languages that use the vocal-auditory channel (i.e. typical human language) and languages that use the manual-visual channel (i.e. sign language);
- Enhance students’ linguistic awareness regarding language development, language acquisition, and bilingualism.
- Equip students with methodological tools for the analysis of language structure, and for the empirical study on the dynamics of the teaching and learning process.
