Description:

The Utrecht Institute of Linguistics OTS and the Department of Dutch are 
offering two PhD positions for research on affective factors in language 
comprehension.

The PhD projects are part of the Dutch Science Foundation Vici programme 
"Moving the language user: Affect and perspective in discourse processing". 
In this programme, we explore the interfaces between the language system 
and affect ('emotion'), while taking into account that linguistic communication 
involves multiple perspectives. Using cognitive neuroscience and behavioral 
methods, we ask four questions about how language interfaces with affect: 
(1) How do linguistic and affective representations interact as people read a 
simple sentence? (2) How do readers deal with the affective stance of the 
author, implied by the choice of words and expressions? (3) How do readers 
balance their own feelings, and the value systems beneath them, with those 
of protagonists as narrative develops? (4) Which ingredients of persuasive 
communication modulate reader involvement, and how can we make our 
insights relevant to the needs of society (e.g., to mobilize empathy)? The two 
PhD students will work on the 3rd and 4th project, in a team with 2 postdocs 
and the programme coordinator (Jos van Berkum).

Deadline March 1, 2012, 9:00 AM local time. Only native speakers of Dutch 
can apply. For further details, please visit the university jobs pages (in Dutch):
