English studies

The primary research areas of English studies are: 

• The English language in all its variety;
• The literatures and cultures of the English speaking world; 
• The histories and societies of English speaking countries.

The linguistic research comprises theoretical and philosophical subjects as well as applied linguistics, e.g. foreign language pedagogy, translation studies and lexicography. The literary scholars study old and new English literature, American and postcolonial literature in a global context as well as literary theory. The relation between the English speaking world and Denmark is central to all researchers at English studies.
