Welcome
The Centre for Linguistic Research is a joint partnership between the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics and the School of Modern Languages and Linguistics. It has a three-fold mission: to bring together linguistics researchers across the two partner schools; to encourage and support external bids for cross-linguistic and interdisciplinary research projects; and to develop joint initiatives for postgraduate research and training in linguistics in all of our constituent departments. We also aim to foster and develop links between the Centre and other research groups across the university with core interests in related areas of theoretical and applied linguistics.
The impetus for the creation of the Centre is the imminent co-location of the School of English and School of Modern Languages in the new Arts building on the Jessop West site: from January 2009, linguists in the two Schools will have shared space for the first time.
We invite all researchers with interests in any areas of linguistics, (staff and students in the two Schools, as well as more widely, across the university) to become involved with the Centre and to participate in our projects and activities.
