Research may be carried out in these areas as well as in cognitive science, semantics, philosophy of language, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, second language acquisition and aspects of the syntax or phonology of particular languages. Special language interests among the staff include languages of West Africa and East Africa, French, Hindi, Hungarian and Romance and Germanic languages. All research students are normally registered for the MPhil in the first instance and, assuming that their work is satisfactory, will usually expect to transfer to PhD registration 12 to 18 months after their arrival, and to complete the programme within three years.
