headed by Claudine Chamoreau (SeDyL, CNRS), Stavros Skopeteas (</span><span lang="EN-US">University of Göttingen) and Elisabeth Verhoeven (Humboldt University Berlin).</span><span lang="EN-US"><span> </span>The project aims at developing an improved understanding
of<span> </span></span><span lang="EN-US">two layers of clause structure: alignment and information structure as well as the interaction between these layers. It will provide annotated corpora and empirical studies on Chibchan, a language family from Central
America that is underrepresented in linguistic research because it has been understudied. The methodological approach combines exploratory research based on corpora and confirmatory research through field experiments. This combined approach will provide insights
into the different types of field data and will yield a sustainable resource for future study of the Chi<b>t</b>bchan languages. The research goals include (i) a detailed structural investigation of the syntactic and semantic properties of ergativity; (ii)
a study on information structure focusing on the role of microvariation in word order possibilities; and (iii) a precise examination of the role of information structure in the syntax of languages with optional ergative marking.</span></p>
<p class="x_x_x_MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><span lang="EN-US">The main tasks of the postdoctoral researcher will be to 1) compile from existing sources the database of collected corpora; 2) carry out annotations on the corpora; 3) carry
out the comparison of the corpora of the different languages; 4) develop experimental methods for the topics studied; 5) present papers at conferences and publish research results in collaboration with other project members. Other research tasks may emerge
during the course of the project and work may also be proposed by the postdoctoral researcher. The work will be carried out in collaboration with the project researchers.<br>
