<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The CRC 1646 "Linguistic
Creativity in Communication" offers annual fellowships for
visiting researchers (PhD students and postdocs).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In the Collaborative
Research Center “Linguistics Creativity in Communication” (CRC
1646) at Bielefeld University, funded by the DFG, linguists
together with colleagues from other disciplines research
creative linguistic activity in everyday communication, the
resulting products, and how they can spread into a larger
community. The individual projects will shed light on the
properties, limits, benefits of linguistic creativity and the
interplay of these different aspects including its theoretical,
psycholinguistic and computational modelling. Based on this, the
CRC will provide a detailed description of the phenomenon, its
mechanisms and processes and develop a comprehensive theory of
linguistic creativity in communication, in individuals and among
the collective of language users.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We are offering several
fellowships for PhD students and postdocs between two weeks and
up to six months to do research with us! The CRC can cover up to
2,000€/per month for PhD students and up to 2,500€/month for
postdocs to cover travel and cost of living during the stay.</span></p>
