English Language & Linguistics/Scottish History

Course description

**ENGLISH LANGUAGE & LINGUISTICS**English language and linguistics combines the study of the structure and meaning of the English language, past and present, to see what all this tells us about our culture, our society and ourselves. Over 50 years, we created the world-leading Historical Thesaurus of English, a unique resource charting the semantic development of the huge and varied vocabulary of English. You will also have access to dedicated laboratories for analysing spoken and written language.

**SCOTTISH HISTORY**: The study of history is the study of change and continuity in human society through time. Scottish history is the study of Scotland’s past.
Scottish History at Glasgow boasts renowned researchers at the cutting edge of the discipline across all periods, from medieval to modern. The Centre for Scottish & Celtic Studies at Glasgow addresses Scottish history in a genuinely crossdisciplinary environment and students are encouraged to get involved.
