RESEARCH
The research interests of the Department cover a large area of the field of English studies. Some members of the staff and postgraduate students have their individual projects, while others work in externally funded projects, graduate schools and research groups. Much of the linguistic research focuses on discourse linguistics, historical studies of English and second language acquisition. In the literary studies, the New English literatures are a key area of interest. This section of the English Department website provides more information about research in progress as well as completed theses and publications.
