English Linguistics Research Cluster

Description

Research in Linguistics at Birmingham City University covers a variety of areas, including corpus linguistics, critical discourse analysis, forensic linguistics, narrative studies, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). Members' work in these fields is known internationally and have made significant contributions to knowledge, as well as developing innovative approaches to the study of language in all its forms.

The Cluster has a strong track record of attracting external funding from a variety of sources, including the Arts and Humanities Research Council, Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, Jisc, Leverhulme Trust, and the Fulbright Commission. Since 2014, BCU has invested almost £100,000 in hardware and other IT resources to support the work of the Research and Development Unit for English Studies (RDUES) and users of its software worldwide.
