The Scandinavian languages have a rich literature ranging from the Middle Ages to the modern period; for the linguist they offer a fascinating field for comparative study between themselves and with other Germanic languages; by analysing the structure of the English language, written and spoken, through the techniques of modern linguistics, students gain an insight into issues like how language relates to the culture of its speakers, and how differences in speech reflect past history while feeding into further change; students are also able to explore present-day varieties of English and Scots; students gain an understanding of how English works and why it is the way it is; they consider which features of English might be manifestations of a universal grammar, shared with all other languages, and what characteristics make English distinct and distinctive.
