Students are required to have good (written) academic English language skills (Level C1). Students are expected to have taken the Methods and Theories in English Linguistics Module or equivalent Master-level courses elsewhere, and ideally one seminar paper in linguistics at Master level.

Learning outcomes Students learn to collaborate on a joint project, including data collection, database development and project management skills.

They are able to critically reflect on their choice of method/theory and apply this in their data analysis.
