We are pleased to announce that the Arts and Humanities Research Council has

Linguistics & English Language. As a result, this year we are able to offer

awards cover fees and
maintenance. Visit http://www.ppls.ed.ac.uk/postgraduate/PGNews.html#TopStory
for more information.
Supervision is available in most areas of Linguistics, and the synchronic and
diachronic study of English. Applicants are advised that they must have applied
via the University
online applications system in order to be considered for an award (M.Sc. or
Ph.D.). Please ensure that your application to study has been received and
accepted before Monday 13th

Philosophy Psychology and Language Sciences Postgraduate Office to register your
interest: pplspg@ed.ac.uk
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
Edinburgh should be sent to Nik Gisborne, the department's Postgraduate Advisor
(see contact information below).
