The Linguistics MA with a specialisation in syntax is a research-oriented course designed for students looking for a concentrated, advanced course in theoretical syntax.
Theoretical syntax is a branch of linguistics that explores the abstract rules and principles governing sentence structure in human languages. It aims to understand how words combine to form phrases and sentences, and to develop models that explain the underlying mental computations involved in language use. You gain knowledge and understanding of current research in theoretical syntax and are prepared for independent research. On completion of the course, you will be able to formulate appropriate research questions, find and evaluate relevant literature, develop and test new hypotheses, and produce cogent, structured and professionally presented reports.
