This module engages you in empirical studies of real-world speech communities. You will gather language data through a variety of methodologies, including collecting written surveys, conducting interviews, and datamining social media. You will deepen your knowledge about types of language change, motivations for it, and models to describe it. You will be challenged to create high-quality research outputs that advance knowledge, and hone qualitative and quantitative analytic skills that will be essential to your dissertation and other linguistic work.

With an emphasis on the development of students’ scientific skills, this module will focus on competences such as evidence based reasoning, the application of quantitative analysis to interpret chemical data and the evaluation of experimental design. Chemistry is an evidence based science discipline and there will be a strong experimental element to this module. In this progressive module students will also look at how Chemical applications can be used to solve societal problems. Students undertaking this module will develop the academic experience required for a range of undergraduate science programmes, including chemistry and chemical engineering.
