English is the leading international language.
In different countries around the globe English is acquired
as the mother tongue; in others it is used as a second language.
Some nations use English as their official language,
performing the function of administration;
in others it is used as an international language for business,
commerce and industry.
What factors and forces have led to the spread of English?
Why is English now considered to be so prestigious that,
across the globe, individuals and societies feel disadvantaged
if they do not have competence in this language?
How has English changed through 1 500 years?
These are some of the questions that you investigate
when you study English.
You also examine the immense variability of English
and come to understand how it is used as a symbol
of both individual identity and social connection.
You develop in-depth knowledge of the intricate structure of the language.
Why do some non-native speakers of English claim that
it is a difficult language to learn,
while infants born into English-speaking communities
acquire their language before they learn to use forks and knives?
At the university of Sussex, you are introduced to the nature
and grammar of English in all its aspects.
This involves the study of sound structures, the formation of words,
the sequencing of words and the construction of meaning,
as well as examination of the theories
explaining these aspects of English usage.
You are encouraged to develop your own individual responses
to various practical and theoretical issues,
which are raised by studying how speakers and writers
employ English for a wide variety of purposes.
