> Description of Project:
> This project addresses the question of how bilinguals manage two  
> competing sound systems,
> including stress, intonation and rhythm. In particular, we would  
> encourage projects investigating
> the prosody of Welsh-English bilinguals, with an emphasis on the  
> nature and direction of
> interference between the sound systems of bilinguals and its  
> contribution to their distinctive
> accent. The successful applicant will have a strong background in  
> experimental phonetics, and
> preferably experience with the autosegmental-metrical approach to  
> intonational analysis. A good
> working knowledge of Welsh would be advantageous.
>
> The supervisory team will consist of Prof Ineke Mennen (first  
> supervisor), Dr Paul Carter
> (second supervisor), and Dr Enlli Thomas (third supervisor, advisor  
> for Welsh language).
>
> Queries prior to a formal application concerning this research  
> project should be addressed to Dr
