<p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US>Description:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>These two PhD positions are part of a
research project funded by the Dutch organization for Scientific research (NWO),
granted to PI’s Bettelou Los and Ans van Kemenade. The title of the project
is <i>Syntax and Information Structure: Discourse Options after the Loss of
Verb-Second.</i> It investigates the changes in informational status of the
first constituent in the early Modern English period (ca. 1500-1700). Its
hypothesis is that the loss of the verb-second rule in late Middle English
compromised the options for the structuring of information in the clause, which
led to the emergence of new syntactic constructions. The first PhD position
will focus on the rise of new passive constructions (passive ECM, prepositional
passives) while the second PhD position will investigate the rise of cleft
sentences and new ways to express contrastive focus. The full project
description can be found at http://www.ru.nl/engels/wie_wat_waar/medewerkers/persoonlijk/los/<o:p></o:p></span></p>
