Description:

Commencement of employment is scheduled for April 01, 2021. The postdoc

and is a fixed-term working contract ending December 31, 2024. If the

As a basis for research sub project C04 Conceptual and referential activation
in discourse, we propose that prominence relations are among the core features
contributing to referent management - at the level of comprehension and at the
level of discourse planning. We suggest that, in referent management,
prominence-lending features affect two related processes: activation of a
concept and activation of a referent. The overall goal of the project is to
develop a discourse model that can account for some key features in discourse
processing, in particular for those features that are associated with concept
activation and referent activation.

Your tasks:
- Preparing, conducting and evaluating eye-tracking and ERP experiments as
well as collaborating on fill-in-the-gap experiments (annotation and
