Description:

Doctoral fellow at Ghent University, Department of Linguistics 

The research group GLIMS (Ghent Research Team on Linguistic Meaning and
Structure) is looking for a full-time doctoral fellow for the period of four
years, to work on a project funded by the UGent Special Research Fund (BOF)
(see the summary below): 

In search of the analytical resultative construction: 

A microtypological comparison of Romance and Germanic languages 

Degree requirements: Master of (historical) linguistics (or an equivalent
degree). 
The candidate should have an excellent knowledge of French and Spanish, in
addition to a third (Romance or Germanic) language. 

The candidate is expected to have a great interest in linguistic research, as
evidenced in, preferably, a Master paper in the area of linguistics with a
focus on (at least) one of the languages mentioned above. Experience in corpus
linguistics is certainly a plus.

Ghent University offers a four-year contract starting on 1 November 2016. In
this time a PhD dissertation has to be completed. Information about salary can
be found on:
http://www.ugent.be/nl/vacatures/categorieen-salarisschalen/salarisschalen/wpw
m2.htm 

The deadline for applications is 30 September 2016. Applications should be
submitted to ResultativesinContrast at ugent.be and should consist of: a detailed
CV (including degree grades and title of Master Thesis), a letter of
motivation in French or Spanish. 

Contact one of the project supervisors for more information:
ResultativesinContrast at ugent.be (peter.lauwers ugent, renata.enghels ugent.be,
miriam.taverniers ugent.be, marleen.vanpeteghem ugent.be)

Brief Summary of the Project: 

This project is looking for (traces of) the resultative verbal construction
(e.g. Ed hammers the metal flat; flat = the result of the hammering) in a
number of Romance (French, Spanish) and one Germanic (e.g. Dutch) language.
The aim is to capture the microtypological variation w.r.t. the lexical scope
(what categories are allowed in this construction: adjectives? prepositional
phrases? nominals?) and productivity of the construction (is the construction
limited to a specific verb class, or is it open?), against the background of
other typological properties of the languages studied.
 

Application Deadline: 30-Sep-2016

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.


Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
