In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, Linguistics and English Language At
Edinburgh was judged to be the top department in its field in the UK as measured
by the percentage of its research work that was in the top (4*) category: no
other department of linguistics in Britain had 30% of its work judged to be of
world-leading quality. The concentration of linguists at Edinburgh is the
largest in the UK; there were 36 staff included in the return.

Further information about the department, its research and its staff can be
found at: http://www.lel.ed.ac.uk/

Initial enquiries about postgraduate work in Linguistics and English Language at
