Research in MML

Research in the Faculty of MML

The Departments of the MML Faculty and ASNC are each large enough to constitute distinct research environments. Typically, each has sufficient research-active members of academic staff to cover the historical and thematic range of the subject. Research in the language Departments deals with every period from the medieval (the particular domain of ASNC) to the contemporary, and incorporates the study of literature, history, the visual arts and film, thought, and culture, in the broad sense of that term, including related or minority language areas within the remit of several Departments (e.g. Ukrainian, Catalan). Research in the Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics (DTAL), formed on 1 August 2011 when the former Department of Linguistics and the Research Centre for English and Applied Linguistics (RCEAL) merged, likewise covers a comprehensive range of the language sciences and offers theoretical and empirical research in a broad spread of fields from historical linguistics and comparative syntax to language processing and computational linguistics. Each Department has its own national and international research networks. The direction of research in MML lies with the Research Strategy Committee (RSC). ASNC has been represented on this Committee since 2011.
