Description:

MSCA Meetup: Apply for a visit in Paris and build a successful project with a
world-leading research team!

Are you a post-doc or experienced researcher and would you like to widen your
experience with a stay in a French research unit? Are you ready for a new
challenge and an international career? Do you want to broaden your network and
position yourself as an independent researcher? Then you may join for 24 or 36
months the Formal Linguistics Lab (Laboratoire de Linguistique Formelle, CNRS,
Univ Paris Diderot, http://www.llf.cnrs.fr/en). The lab offers the following
four research projects  for the following call for a Marie Sklodowska-Curie
Grant Meet-up: https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/funding/call-msca-meet-paris

Anne Abeille:
Experimental syntax. Recent research has shown the relevance of a fine-grained
view of graded acceptability. A degraded sentence may not be part of our
grammar, challenge our processing capacity, or be inappropriate in the current
discourse. Our aim will be to determine the respective weight of these factors
for phenomena central to syntactic theories from a cross-linguistic
perspective using corpus analyses and experimental data. The project will be
co-supervised by Barbara Hemforth, in collaboration with Ted Gibson (MIT).
(Syntax, experimental linguistics, graded acceptability)

Ewan Dunbar: 
Empirical studies of linguistic discrimination in France. We invite
international candidates with a background in linguistic variation to develop
a research project studying linguistic variation and linguistic discrimination
in France. Projects based on large-scale corpus phonetics, and/or on
performing empirical work (psycholinguistic or other) quantifying the effects
of linguistic discrimination would be particularly welcome. Candidate would be
co-supervised by Heather Burnett and work in close collaboration with other
members the Parisian linguistic research community. (Sociolinguistics, French,
linguistic discrimination)

Jonathan Ginzburg:
Integrating dialogue and probabilistic semantics. Recent work has shown how
vagueness, modality, and a variety of pragmatic inferences can be captured
rigorously and subject to experimental testing using probabilistic meanings.
This project will address the challenge, so far unmet, of integrating such
work with contemporary dialogue semantics, that offers detailed models of
context and serves as the theoretical basis for spoken dialogue systems.
(Dialogue, probabilistic semantics, dialogue systems)

Chris Reintges: 
Greenberg’s Lineage: Revisiting the morphological and syntactic parallels
between the Afroasiatic and Celtic Verb–Initial Languages. J. Greenberg’s
(1963) work first noted the significant parallels between the Celtic and
Afroasiatic VSO languages. Based on a refined typology, the project will
reassess the Celtic/Afroasiatic parallels in morphology and syntax, both
synchronically and diachronically, the latter including parallel
grammaticalization paths. (Linguistic typology, Afroasiatic languages, Celtic
languages)
