Research Officers for an ESRC project
=====================================

Applications are invited for two posts on a research project 
which aims to create an electronic database of the spontaneous 
conversations of young children speaking Welsh. The project is 
funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), 
and is directed by Mr Bob Morris Jones, Education Department, 
University of Wales Aberystwyth. The project will run from 1st 
July 1999 to 30th June 2000. The appointments will be made on 
point 4 of the salary scale RA1B, £15,735. The postholders will 
be responsible for transcribing audio recordings of the 
spontaneous conversations of young children using standard 
conventions, and for preparing a lexicon of all the word-forms 
which occur in the database. The applicants must be fluent in 
everyday colloquial Welsh either of a northern or southern 
dialect. Training in Linguistics would be a definite advantage, but 
qualifications in Welsh or a modern language would also be 
relevant. The work requires computer skills: using a PC,

preliminary training in the use of the transcription system and the
