Linguistics and Social Anthropology, MA (Hons)

The MA (Hons) in Linguistics and Social Anthropology is a joint programme that explores human culture and communication across time. Linguistics investigates the mechanics of language, including how meaning is formed through sounds, words, sentences, and conversations, as well as its everyday applications, societal variations, evolution, and child acquisition.Social anthropology examines human behaviour in contemporary societies through participant observation, which entails extended periods living alongside and sharing experiences with the communities studied.
