You will then explore how language is used in a range of different contexts, including spontaneous conversations, the media and multimedia, fictional and non-fictional texts. You will also explore a range of different issues surrounding the language, such as the history and development of English, language and power, language and gender, different varieties of English, and child language acquisition.
