Humanities (second language acquisition) PhD Projects.

The PhD in Language and Communication is an interdisciplinary programme run across four departments: Education, Language and Linguistic Science, Psychology and Sociology. The staff on the programme are experts in language and communication who pool their resources to offer the PhD. Students on the programme have two joint supervisors, each from.

Finally, a computational approach will assess the linguistic input of young children acquiring Irish as a first language to ask questions about language acquisition and language change. Experience with computational modelling is required for this approach, particularly with Bayesian models.

PhD in Computation, Cognition and Language (Course Code: MLAL211). The PhD in Computation, Cognition and Language is a PhD track for students who conduct basic and applied research in the computational study of language, communication, and cognition, in humans and machines.

Our postgraduate communities enjoy dedicated workspace and common room, with excellent computing facilities. The space provides a range of resources, including access to linguistics software (eg Childes, Clan, Elan, Praat), linguistic corpora (e.g. DECTE, ICE, ICAME) and specialised equipment (eg the Eye Tracker). You will have access to two postgraduate research student study rooms, the.

Our PhD and MA students are an integral part of our research community. We supervise a wide range of doctoral projects.

Second language acquisition (SLA) is a multidisciplinary field whose goal is to understand the processes that underlie the learning of a non-native language. SLA draws from a variety of academic disciplines, among them linguistics, psychology, psycholinguistics, sociology, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, conversation analysis, and education.

The study of second language acquisition (SLA) is an increasingly interdisciplinary field that draws on various branches of linguistics as well as cognitive psychology, educational research, sociology, and neurology to describe exactly how second languages are learned by different individuals in different contexts, and to explain the biological, cognitive, and social mechanisms underlying.

Centre for Linguistics, Language Education and Acquisition Research. Research projects. Postgraduate research. News, events and seminars. Welcome to CLLEAR! We are a group of researchers and PhD students whose research falls under the large umbrella of applied and general linguistics. Currently, we focus on three main areas.

Students must satisfy all program requirements for the Ph.D. in Educational Studies. The Ph.D. thesis must be on a topic relating to language acquisition. Thesis. A thesis for the doctoral degree must constitute original scholarship and must be a distinct contribution to knowledge. It must show familiarity with previous work in the field and.

Foreign Language Requirement. Before graduation, all students completing the PhD in Second Language Acquisition must demonstrate three types of experience with non-native language: learning a non-native language, using a non-native language, and teaching a language to non-native speakers of that language. All three types of experience will be.

Language acquisition is at the heart of children’s psychological development. Learning words underpins children’s ability to communicate with others and navigate the social world. However, word learning can be severely impacted by autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
