The strengths of the Centre for Research in Linguistics and Language Sciences (CRiLLS) were both its breadth of expertise, enabling it to pursue inquiry into human language from a great variety of perspectives, and its pool of interdisciplinary research activities bridging theory and application.
With around 40 academic staff in linguistics and language sciences across Newcastle University, CRiLLs was one of the largest teams of linguists in Europe.
