<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-AU
style='font-size:13.0pt'>Our PhD candidates generally undertake extensive
fieldwork on a previously undescribed (or scarcely described) language and
write a comprehensive grammar of it for their dissertation. We prefer
students to work on a language which is still actively spoken, and to establish
a field situation within a community in which it is the first language.
Fieldwork methodology should be centred on the collection, transcription and
analysis of texts, together with participant observation, and — at a
later stage — judicious grammatical elicitation in the language under
description (not through the lingua franca of the country). Our main priority
areas are the languages of </span></font><font size=4><span lang=EN-AU
style='font-size:13.0pt'>Amazonia</span></font><font size=4><span lang=EN-AU
style='font-size:13.0pt'> and the Papuan and Austronesian languages of </span></font><font
size=4><span lang=EN-AU style='font-size:13.0pt'>New Guinea</span></font><font
size=4><span lang=EN-AU style='font-size:13.0pt'>. We also welcome
applications to work on indigenous languages from other areas such as the
Aslian language group from </span></font><font size=4><span lang=EN-AU
style='font-size:13.0pt'>Malaysia</span></font><font size=4><span lang=EN-AU

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-AU
style='font-size:13.0pt'>PhDs in Australian universities generally involve no
coursework, just a substantial dissertation. Candidates must thus have had a
thorough coursework training before embarking on this PhD program. This
should have included courses on morphology, syntax, semantics,
phonology/phonetics and comparative-historical linguistics, taught from a
non-formalist perspective. We place emphasis on work that has a sound empirical
basis but also shows a firm theoretical orientation (in terms of general
typological theory, or what has recently come to be called basic linguistic
theory). </span></font></p>

at any one time, of about twenty scholars, working on a variety of languages
and typological issues. Besides the permanent staff of Professor R M W
Dixon (Director) and Professor Alexandra Y Aikhenvald (Associate Director) we
have an array of Research Fellows and PhD students; each year a number of
senior scholars from across the world spend from three to six months with us as
Visiting Fellows. Our personnel this year includes specialists on spoken
languages from the following families or areas: Tsimshian, Mayan, Oto-Manguean,
Eskimo-Aleut, Arawak, Carib, Arawá, Panaoan, Jívaro, Tacanan,
Indo-European, Niger-Congo, Chukchee, Afro-asiatic, Khoisan, Tai-Kadai, Tibeto-Burman,
Austro-asiatic, Papuan, Austronesian and Australian.</span></font></p>
