Modern English Language
Glasgow colleagues are active in individual research in every area of Modern English Language studies, from phonetics and phonology through grammar and discourse to lexicology and semantics. We have special strengths in sociolinguistics and phonetics, and also work closely with colleagues in the School of Psychology. There is cross-theme interest in both Modern and Historical English Language clusters in linguistic variation and change. We operate a well-equipped and recently upgraded experimental phonetics laboratory, Glasgow University Laboratory Phonetics (GULP), with an associated Speech Studio. Digital resources are a major feature of all our research. We also have access to numerous large electronic data-sets available for exploitation in research, derived from major funding by the UK Research Councils, the Leverhulme Trust, the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and other bodies.
