[Ans van Kemenade]

 In the framework of a research programme grant for three researchers,titled 'the Diachrony of Complex Predicates in West-Germanic', one four-year paid position is available for research leading to a doctoral thesis.
 The research programme as a whole is directed by professors Geert Booij (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) and Ans van Kemenade (University of Nijmegen), and funded to a large extent by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific

Research, NWO. The aim of the programme is to come to an extensive, indepth, theoretically inspired and corpus-based study of the historical development of separable complex verbs in the West-Germanic languages. The programme comprises a postdoctoral project on Gothic and Old High German with Dr. Bettelou Los as the researcher; a PhD project on the history of Dutch with Corrien Blom as the researcher; and a PhD project on the history of English, for which we now seek a candidate. This project concentrates on (Middle) English, and will be conducted at the University of Nijmegen under the direction of prof. Ans van Kemenade.

 Requirements: the succesful candidate should have affinity with a theoretical approach as well as with detailed data research in computerized corpora. The institutional embedding of the project will ensure some further training in both of these aspects. We seek a candidate with undergraduate training in English, with a specialism in language/(historical) linguistics. For further information, contact a.v.kemenade at let.kun.nl. The post is tenable from 1 June 2001 or as soon as possible thereafter.
