Conduct an in-depth study of the grammar of English. Learn about dialectal and social variation, language change and the pragmatics of language use, and study varieties of English used around the world.

For students who wish to focus specifically on the linguistics of the English language then the University of Essex MA English Language and Linguistics should interest them. “Grammar” is the body of knowledge that enables a speaker to produce and understand the language(s) they speak. Essex studies that knowledge, taking a practical approach to their research through analysis of English corpora, recordings and texts.
