 Theoretical and Applied Linguistics
 School of Philosophy, Psychology & Language Sciences
 University of Edinburgh, UK


We are now accepting applications for this one-year taught master's
for the academic year 2004-2005.

The aim of our programme is to provide (a) an advanced understanding
of current research on first & second language acquisition, attrition
and language change from the perspectives of linguistics and cognitive
psychology, and (b) the methodological skills needed to conduct novel
research in these fields.

The programme consists of two semesters of coursework and a supervised
dissertation.

Students will have access to our excellent laboratory and
computational facilities, and a teaching staff drawn from one of the
largest concentrations of language researchers studying the formal,
computational, and psychological aspects of language.
