What makes it possible for speakers of a language to understand each other? How do speakers adjust their language use in different situations, for example when speaking to someone with a different dialect, speaking on the phone rather than in person, or when writing an email? Why do some people find it easier than others to learn a second language? As one of our most complex cognitive abilities, studying language tells us something about what it means to be human. Topics we might study include: how language changes over time, how we use language in day-to-day communication, how languages from around the world differ from each other and nevertheless have much in common, how multiple languages interact in the mind/brain of an individual, and how technology can help us to learn another language.
