Description:

The University of Greenwich is pleased to invite applications for two full-time PhD 
scholarships for 3 years (renewals subject to review) in the area of Linguistics and 
Language Acquisition.

The successful candidate will become part of the Applied Linguistics Research 
group at the University of Greenwich and other international research groups the 
leading supervisors work in.

Scholarship 1-- The work of the holder of the PhD-studentship will feed into a 
broader project about linguistic variation and copular clauses in several languages 
including Spanish and English. The PhD student will contribute to (i) evaluate 
current theoretical hypotheses about the copular alternation in languages such as 
Spanish; (ii) assess the different predictions each one of them makes for language 
acquisition; (iii) design and carry out experiments that produce finer-grained data 
that can help identify the locus of copular alternation and the acquisition path 
leading to native grammars of Spanish.

For further information about this scholarship, please contact: 
Dr María J. Arche

Scholarship 2—This research will be part of a project called 'Processing Instruction 
and Individual Differences'. Processing instruction is an input-based approach 
grammar instruction predicated on the input processing theoretical paradigm. The 
goal of this PhD project is to investigate to what extent certain individual difference 
factors (e.g. age, aptitude, working memory) positively interact with processing 
instruction, ideally in languages other than English or Romance Languages.

Professor Alessandro Benati

from a country where English is not the first language , a language proficiency 
score of at least IELTS 6.5 (in all elements of the test) or TOEFL 100 ibt (600 pbt)
