Our project also explores the extraction of typological generalizations from treebanks using token-based (Levshina 2019) or typometric (Gerdes, Kahane, and Chen 2021) approaches.</div><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></div><div class="elementToProof" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The appointed postdoctoral researcher will be affiliated with the Lisn Laboratory (Université Paris-Saclay) integrating ongoing collaborations around Paris, in particular with the Lacito Laboratory (Paris/Villejuif) and Modyco Laboratory (Nanterre). The researcher will have the opportunity to develop a research project revolving around the creation of a typological database. This database will integrate quantitative data from treebanks (based on the Universal Dependency project) and Interlinear Glossed Text (IGT) of various languages. Our aim is to capture the full spectrum of linguistic diversity and generate nuanced, quantitative typological generalizations based on annotated structures, which could eventually lead to automated comparative grammars.</div><div class="elementToProof" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ideal candidates will possess a strong background in language typology and linguistic theory, along with a proven track record in corpus creation and quantitative corpus analysis.</div><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></div><div class="elementToProof" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The postdoctoral position is set to commence between now and at the latest, January 1st 2025.
