Our Department has ten research groups covering a wide variety of areas in language and linguistics research. All research students join the group which is most closely aligned to their interests, providing a valuable opportunity to discuss and present their work in progress.

Arabic Sociolinguistics Research Group

The Arabic Sociolinguistics Research Group meets every two weeks to discuss articles in sociolinguistics and dialect variation. Members of the group have the opportunity to give a talk or an oral presentation of what they are up to in their fieldwork.

• For more information, please email Sara Al Sheyadi at [email protected] .
• Arabic linguistic resources

Conversation Analysis Research Group

The Conversation Analysis (CA) Research Group is co-ordinated by Dr Rebecca Clift and meets weekly during term-time. It is a forum for the technical, conversation-analytic examination of interactional data, and discussion of current research in conversation analysis. Our members are current PhD students and they bring a number of native languages to the group. Currently we have speakers of Arabic, Japanese and English, and past members have been native speakers of Greek and French. We also invite leading CA researchers to lead data sessions and present work-in-progress; past visitors have included Paul Drew, John Rae, Celia Kitzinger and Ray Wilkinson.

• For more information, please email Dr Rebecca Clift at [email protected] .

Corpus Linguistics Collective

In the Department of Languages and Linguistics at the University of Essex, natural data and corpus linguistic approaches are a part of our research, our teaching, our professional development of postgraduate research students, and are explored within our seminar series. We use language corpora to explore second language acquisition & development, English and Arabic dialectology & grammar, language & aging, and as a pedagogical resource for the EFL classroom.

• Corpus Linguistics website
• For more information, please email Dr Vineeta Chand at [email protected] .

ELT Research Group

The English Language Teaching Research Group will be of interest to any students currently carrying out or intending to carry out research focused on English language teaching or teaching English for specific or academic purposes, taking a qualitative or a mixed-methods approach. The group is co-ordinated by Dr Christina Gkonou and Dr Sophia Skoufaki.

There are three main formats for meetings:

• Students may present their work for about 20-30 minutes, and then the group provides comments or questions. For instance, students may present draft research questions or some of their findings for feedback and discussion. Students who are in the earlier or later stages of their research are encouraged to present: it's never too early to make a presentation!
• Students or staff may practise a conference presentation, with the group providing feedback.
• The group may read an agreed article in advance, and meet to discuss it.
• For more information, please email Dr Christina Gkonou at [email protected] , or Dr Sophia Skoufaki at [email protected] .

Language and Asylum Research Group

Language analysis for determination of origin (LADO) is a new branch of applied linguistics, used by governments in processing asylum seekers who are applying for refugee status. Applicants are interviewed by government agencies seeking to ascertain whether they speak the language of a group they say they belong to, as part of testing their claim to come from a certain nation, region or group.

The primary mission of the Language and Asylum Research Group (LARG) is to stimulate research, contribute to the further development of guidelines, and promote best-practice for practitioners working in the field of LADO, through exchange of informed views.

The group is convened by Professor Peter L. Patrick and Dr Diana Eades.

• Language and Asylum Research Group website
• For more information, please email [email protected] .

Language and Computation Group

Because of the growing availability of large amounts of natural language data in electronic format, computational methods are playing an increasing role in linguistic research. Simultaneously, natural language engineering (NLE) techniques are becoming more widespread in areas such as data mining and web search. As the problems tackled in the scientific study of language and by developers of NLE applications are often the same, interaction between researchers using computational methods to study language and those interested in NLE applications is beneficial to both. The University of Essex has a long tradition of research in the area of language and computation (which has a variety of names, including computational linguistics and natural language processing), starting with work on machine translation and parsing in the 1980s, as well as work on formal semantics.

The Language and Computation group is an interdisciplinary group created to foster such interaction between researchers within the University, and includes staff and students from the Department of Languages and Linguistics, the Data Archive and the Language, Logic and Information group in the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering.

• Language and Computation Group website

Lexical Functional Grammar Research Group

This research group brings together members of our Department and research students who are working on a variety of topics in Lexical Functional Grammar (and especially its application to Arabic). The group is co-ordinated by Professor Louisa Sadler and meets on a regular basis throughout the academic year.

• Lexical Functional Grammar Research Group website
• For more information, please email Professor Louisa Sadler at [email protected] .

Phonology Research Group

The Phonology Research Group is interested in the investigation of theoretical and descriptive phonology, first and second language phonology and sociophonology.

The group is co-ordinated by Dr Wyn Johnson and meets on a regular basis throughout the academic year.

• For more information, please email Dr Wyn Johnson at [email protected] .

Psycholinguistics Research Group

The Psycholinguistics Research Group at Essex investigates grammatical processing in adult native speakers and language learners, child language acquisition, as well as neurolinguistic topics including developmental and acquired language disorders.

Second Language Research Group

The Second Language Research Group provides a forum for students and staff to exchange ideas about and discuss current issues in second language learning/acquisition, language development, language attrition (i.e. loss) and language teaching. Second language (L2) is used as an umbrella term to include L3, L4, etc. In our meetings, group members present work in progress such as plans for a PhD project or results from a pilot study, we try out data collection instruments or language teaching materials designed by group members, or members may give presentations on completed studies, e.g. to practise for a conference. In addition, we read and discuss recent research papers that are of interest to group members in order to stay up to date with the latest developments in our field and to encourage an exchange of ideas between different theoretical perspectives (e.g. usage-based and generative) and different sub-areas (e.g. L2 and L1 learning).

Fees and funding.

• What's next?

Our four-year PhD Linguistics (with research and communication skills) course has been designed to support students who do not have English as a first language.

We recognise and understand the importance of continuing professional development for students and have designed this course for students who do not have English as a first language and may have been studying in a different country, or out of a traditional academic environment for some time.

This is a tailor-made course that seeks to combine skills and enhanced subject specific research proposals to give you the best underpinning for your doctoral studies. A core aim of the course is for students to refine English language for scholarly communication, enhance academic skills for postgraduate study, hone higher-level research skills, and master how to study and manage academic work in the UK.

The course is comprised of the following elements:

This four-year PhD does not include a Masters degree in its first year, like other existing Integrated PhDs offered at Essex. On this course you will enrol for a PhD Linguistics (with research and communication skills) for a PhD final award, with only a PG Dip or PG Certificate available as exit awards after the first year. You will take a number of core and compulsory modules in your first year, and the next three years will be conducting your individual research project.

This course is available to start in either October or January.

• Our Department of Language and Linguistics offers an outstanding teaching and research environment. We are 1st in UK for research impact in modern languages and linguistics (Grade Point Average, Research Excellence Framework 2021).
• Our students are taught, supported and supervised by staff with an international reputation for being at the forefront of research in their areas of expertise.
• We have a strong research group culture and run regular departmental seminars which feature invited external speakers.

Course structure.

Most of our taught courses combine compulsory and optional modules, giving you freedom to pursue your own interests. All of the modules listed below provide an example of what is on offer from the current academic year. Our Programme Specification provides further details of the course structure for the current academic year.

Our research-led teaching is continually evolving to address the latest challenges and breakthroughs in the field. The course content is therefore reviewed on an annual basis to ensure our courses remain up-to-date so modules listed are subject to change.

The research element of your degree doesn't have a taught structure, giving you the chance to investigate your chosen topic in real depth and reach a profound understanding. In communicating that understanding, through a thesis or other means, you have a rare opportunity to generate knowledge. A research degree allows you to develop new high-level skills, enhance your professional development and build new networks. It can open doors to many careers.

We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision for you. We'll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities as described on our website and in line with your contract with us. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to significant disruption, we'll let our applicants and students know as soon as possible.

This module introduces students to the form and function of an effective PhD research proposal. The module will help students to understand the expectations of the research proposal for their own subjects/supervisors and will help them to work on how to produce a quality proposal. The module will help students to develop their skills and confidence in their own research topic as well as their ability to write and talk about their proposal to a range of different audiences. The module will provide students with an overview of the relevant academic theory and ideas about the writing process as well as practical and hands-on experience of writing their own proposals.
