Some detail: This award is for the person selected to enroll in the PhD program at the University of Canterbury, to work on a PhD dissertation topic which will contribute to the goals of the grant. This can include such things as language classification, the history of how various different language families were established, methods for comparing languages and establishing language relationships, evaluations of attempts to reach beyond the limitations of the comparative method, the role of grammatical evidence in establishing language relationships, the relationship between typology and historical linguistics, assessment of any of a number of proposed long-range genetic relationships, and so on. To apply: send letter/e-mail, with some details about your education, linguistic background and interests, possible topic(s) you would want to do your dissertation research on, and details about how to contact you. If you are selected as a potential candidate, you will be asked to supply two letters of reference.
