Date: 12-Mar-2012 From: Regina Weinert <regina.weinertnorthumbria.ac.uk> Subject: Cognitive Linguistics, Psycholinguistics: Ma / MSc Student, Northumbria University, United Kingdom E-mail this message to a friend Department: Humanities Web Address: http://www.northumbria.ac.uk/sd/academic/sass/about/humanities/englishhome/linguistics/ Level: MA / MSc Specialty Areas: Psycholinguistics Cognitive Linguistics Description: The Department of Humanities at Northumbria University invites applications for 2012-13 entry to its MRes in Language and Cognition. The MRes is a masters programme based around individual students' research projects. The MRes is available as a full-time one-year or two-year part-time programme (please note that the studentships only apply to the one year full-time route). The Department offers up to seven studentships to cover the cost of fees. These are open to home/EU and International students. The MRes in Language and Cognition is a unique interdisciplinary programme which builds on two areas of particular research strength at Northumbria: cognitive linguistics (including social cognition and cognitive approaches to discourse analysis) in the Department of Humanities and psycholinguistics in the Department of Psychology (School of Life Sciences). The programme explores the relationship between language and cognition from a linguistic and psychological point of view and introduces students to a broad range of research methodologies, from corpus analyses to eye tracking and ERPs. It will appeal to graduates of English language, modern languages, linguistics, psychology, and cognitive science. Although it is a stand-alone degree, it is anticipated that a significant proportion of the students will continue on to a PhD; hence there is a strong emphasis on research methods and independent research. The deadline for the studentship application is Friday 22 June 2012 with interviews due to take place in the week beginning 2 July 2012. Informal enquiries can be addressed to the Programme Director, Professor Regina Weinert, regina.weinertnorthumbria.ac.uk Applications Deadline: 22-Jun-2012 Mailing Address for Applications: Attn: Professor Regina Weinert Sandyford Road Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 8ST United Kingdom Web Address for Applications: http://www.northumbria.ac.uk/sd/academic/sass/studying/sasspg/mreswaiver12/?view=Standard Contact Information: Professor Regina Weinert regina.weinertnorthumbria.ac.uk This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $67,000.
