When I was deciding to come to university, I think it was definitely the Open Day that made me choose Lancaster.
I'd looked at some other unis but it was when I came up to Lancaster and looked round the campus,
and saw it, that I really decided that this was the place I wanted to come to.
Linguistics is the study of all of the world's languages.
Specifically looking at their structure in terms of their grammar, and the sounds.
Looking at English in comparison to other languages, you look specifically at the general rules,
and what can be observed.
In first year Linguistics you study around 20 different topics, which sounds like a lot,
but it's not actually too many because they're all interconnected in a way.
Some topics are more substantial than others and they sort of lay the ground work,
for what you want to specialise in later.
When it gets to 2nd year you can have quite a few options of which course you want to do.
There's a whole manner of modules for anything that interests you really.

J: When we're looking at data in linguistics we
use computer programs such as Clan,
and that helps us to look not
just at the theory of what's happening
to what other people have said about
what's happening it actually helps us to
get an example of speech and analyze it
in our own way so that we actually
properly understand what we're reading
about what we're learning about.

Lancaster is you're assigned an academic
tutor so you meet up with them once a
