Description:

Applicant’s education

This PhD financial support is primarily intended for students who have a
master’s degree in linguistics or in cognitive sciences (and preferably a
background in language development). The candidate should demonstrate a strong
interest in (typical or atypical) early language acquisition. Foreign
applications are welcomed provided that candidates are fluent in French.

Requirements

- A Master’s degree in the field of linguistics or cognitive sciences
- French-Portuguese bilingual and a good level in English 
- Knowledge in the field of language acquisition 
- Experience in linguistic oriented software like Phon or Clan will be a plus 
- Knowledge in statistics will also be a plus

PhD information

This PhD is funded by the « laboratoire d’excellence ASLAN » (Advanced studies
on language complexity), and the candidate will be affiliated to the «
laboratoire DDL Dynamique Du Langage » (UMR5596 CNRS – Université Lumière Lyon
2, Lyon, France) under the supervision of Sophie Kern (CR, CNRS) and
Christophe dos Santos (MCF, Université François-Rabelais). The funding will be
around 1 400 € net monthly. The appointment for a doctoral research fellowship
is for 3 years commencing September or October 2016.

Project description

The goal of the PhD is to study early lexical development of French-Portuguese
bilingual children living in France. Different types of measure should be
combined in order to describe, to the fullest extent as possible, bilingual
lexical development, taking into account the input as well as linguistic
factors such as semantic, grammatical categories and/or phonological
complexity. This PhD will be part of the WP3 « from the individual to
interaction » of ASLAN and more particularly the WP3 task named «
Understanding language development and impairments ». One of the main goals of
this task is to identify and weigh social, linguistic, interactional, and
neurocognitive factors impacting language development.

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!
