Linguistics PgCert

In the School of Arts, English and Languages at QUB the work undertaken in Linguistics is strongly-focused on social, behavioural, human and economic facets of language and language variation. External partnerships are key to research and impact by linguists in AEL with, for example: Co-operation Ireland, for research (within the MEITS project) on language and identity in NI; National Museums NI, for an ongoing project on digitised speech corpora and associated impact activities; the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum (via the Marie Curie Fellowship held by Carruthers), in a collaboration for the Festival of Storytelling in Eight Languages; the Department of Communities, as a partner (in MEITS and the NI Place-names Project) investigating toponymy, language and identity in NI; local councils in NI, regarding provision of authoritative forms (established by the Place-names project) of place-names for signage; East Belfast Mission in a partnership which explores issues of language and identity in NI (within MEITS), particularly with regard to the Irish language. Through the OS200 project with Lilley, the Place-names Project has external links with the Royal Irish Academy, the Digital Repository of Ireland, the Public Records Office of Northern Ireland, the interdisciplinary Fiontar and Scoil na Gaeilge (Dublin City University), and the Irish Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.
