*Funding Opportunities for Linguistics and English Language within the
School of Languages, Linguistics and Cultures at The University of
Manchester*
**Manchester is an international centre for linguistics and English
language. The Department is virtually unique in the UK and beyond in the
breadth of subject areas and theoretical approaches represented by its
members, many of whom are internationally renowned scholars in their
specialisms. Particular strengths in the discipline include: endangered
languages, field linguistics and language documentation, the linguistics
of English (both synchronic and diachronic), phonetics and phonology,
morphology, syntax (especially lexical-functional grammar and construction
grammar), typology, language contact and sociolinguistics, historical
linguistics (especially English, Romance and Germanic), (formal) semantics
and pragmatics, and corpus and computational linguistics. More information
about the department and the research interests of its staff can be found
