Graduate Fellowships, Northwestern University

[Matt Goldrick]

In conjunction with our institutional partners, the Department of
Linguistics at Northwestern University invites applications for fully funded
(tuition + stipend) graduate fellowships in linguistics and
interdisciplinary research in language.  Northwestern has a vibrant
community of researchers actively working on a wide variety of issues in
language structure and processing, utilizing a diverse range of methods and
populations.

Issues

    * Structure of linguistic systems within and across levels: Pragmatics,
Semantics, Syntax, Morphology, Phonology, Phonetics
    * Perception, production and acquisition of first and second languages
    * Dynamics of language: diachronic change; experience-related plasticity
    * Language and music: Parallels and interactions

Methods

    * Statistical modeling; probabilistic approaches to language structure
and processing
    * Formal/mathematical theories of linguistic systems
    * Experimental studies of language; psycholinguistics
    * Acoustic phonetics; prosody and intonation
    * Machine learning and natural language processing; corpus analysis
    * Functional and structural neuroimaging; electrophysiology

Populations

    * Mono- and multilingual
    * Infant, young adult and elderly
    * Acquired and developmental disorders
