Description:

This position is available in the DFG-funded Collaborative Research Center
"Information Density and Linguistic Encoding" (SFB 1102). SFB 1102 is a large
and varied Research Center that includes 16 research projects in the areas of
computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, theoretical linguistics, and
phonetics. The aim of this doctoral research position is to contribute to
project C1 of SFB 1102, entitled "Information density and the predictability
of phonetic structure". The project is concerned with the relation between
information density (ID) and phonetic encoding. Specifically, one of the aims
is to study interactions between the prosodic hierarchy and the ID profile of
utterances. 

Another aim is to investigate the effects of channel characteristics and
listener orientation on speakers productions, complemented by an analysis of
listeners' exploitation of the predicted enhancements that speakers implement.
