Newcastle University

Welcome

With over 40 academic staff in linguistics and language sciences across Newcastle University, we are one of the largest teams of linguists in Europe. Linguistics at Newcastle has been ranked 3rd in both the Times Good University Guide 2009, and The Complete University Guide.

The strengths of the Centre for Research in Linguistics and Language Sciences (CRiLLS) are both its breadth of expertise, ranging from the highly theoretical to the very applied, and its pool of interdisciplinary research activities, bridging theory and application.

There are significant research synergies, with leading international figures in the areas of:

• Applied linguistics and language acquisition
• Theoretical and descriptive linguistics
• Clinical linguistics
• Sociolinguistics
• Corpus linguistics and phonetics

CRiLLS provides a range of state-of-the-art resources for researchers and research students, including access to linguistics software and databases as well as space for meetings, seminars and social activities. CRiLLS is also the publisher for the Newcastle Working Papers in Linguistics (NWPL) and Centre members have the ability to join the Newcastle University Linguistics Society.
