Bachelor Of Arts In Linguistics And Multilingual Studies (Humanities And Social Science) Aug 2020 - Present
Nanyang Technological University SingaporeThe LMS curriculum allows me to explore the many interesting facets of language and communication, from the properties of speech sounds to grammatical and discourse structure, from childrens language development to communication in bilingual and multilingual societies.
It encompasses a very wide range of topics: how a finite inventory of basic linguistic units is deployed to express an infinite variety of meanings, how we create meaning in interaction with others, how the bilingual and multilingual mind is structured, and how technology impacts upon peoples everyday use of language, to mention just a few.
