The availability of large corpora, some of them annotated, for a large variety of languages, has been beneficial for corpus-based grammar. Most linguistic theories agree on the necessity of testing their hypotheses with experimental methods (controlled acceptability judgements, reading times, eye movement, EEG?) on comprehension and production tasks. It is also important to compare human processing and the performances achieved by large language models (LLM). >> >> Given the small size of the school, participants will be accommodated in the same place, enabling them to have intensive discussions with the instructors and other participants throughout the week, to prepare collective projects, etc. In addition to courses, ExpGram2024 will give PhD students the opportunity to present their work during a special session, which will allow them to receive valuable feedback on their project. >> >> Outside class hours, participants will take advantage of the idyllic landscapes for swimming, snorkeling or diving in the shallow turquoise waters, cycling along island?s 60km of beautiful trails and paths, or simply walking through the forest to take in the unparalleled scents of maritime pines, lavenders, eucalyptus, etc. >> >> At the end of each day, participants will celebrate life and linguistics over a glass or two, watching the sunset at the beach. >> > From thuilierjuliette at yahoo.fr Wed Apr 24 10:15:29 2024 From: thuilierjuliette at yahoo.fr (thuilier juliette) Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2024 12:15:29 +0200 Subject: [HPSG-L] Postdoc position, quantitative syntax and corpus linguistics, CLLE (CNRS/Toulouse) References: <2F3EB7AF-BDF8-4AF6-BC1A-B103BD26387B@univ-tlse2.fr> Message-ID: The CLLE laboratory (CNRS/Toulouse) is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher in quantitative syntax and corpus linguistics as part of the ANR project PULCO (site only in French: https://blogs.univ-tlse2.fr/pulco/?doing_wp_cron=1711533206.6909101009368896484375 ). This is a full-time position for a period of 18 months. The position is to be filled between September and December 2024.

The editors left Wiley and took most of the board with them. Some of you may remember my mail to the lists back then, when I announced that I would never hire somebody who published in the then zombie journal Lingua. I consider this strike breaking. People who do this harm their colleagues and their field, the budgets of their universities. Lingua is run by Elsevier, Syntax is run by Wiley. The Wiley case is even clearer. The CEOs of Wiley earn several million Dollars every year. https://hpsg.hu-berlin.de/~stefan/PS/Salary-Wiley-COEs-2019.png This is the database wehre you can check the current figures: https://www.salary.com/personal/executive-salaries/ This is not the profit of the publisher. The salaries of the CEOs are costs of the publisher. In addition Wiley has a profit margin of? 40%. They are just stealing our research money, without giving something back. This was also the reason why the Syntax team finally quit. Wiley cut the support for copy editing and type setting. But linguistics needs special support here. What shall I say: I never hired somebody who worked for Lingua. I convinced one person to step down from their newly formed board. I guess I did not hire anybody since nobody applied. So, for future I suggest that you neither work for Elsevier nor for Wiley and submit your papers to scholarly-owned journals like Glossa, Journal of Language Modelling, and STAR, journals of societies like Journal of Linguistics, Language, Zeitschrift f?r Sprachwissenschaft (accepts English, is OA) ... depending on the topic of your paper. Best wishes ??? Stefan
