and arrive at theoretical concepts through analysis of natural language data; a module that studieslanguage as a social phenomenon, examines ways used to convey social meaning and reviews the socialfunctions of language; and a module which focuses on lexical and sentential aspects of meaning andcontextual considerations for the interpretation of utterances.At level 6, students complete two additional modules that offer in-depth theoretical and appliedstudy in linguistics.
