Description:

The Department of German Language and Literature I at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Cologne is currently seeking to fill the position of a PhD Position (m/f/d) in the Collaborative Research Centre 1252 „Prominence in Language“, sub project B04 “Interaction of nominal and verbal features for Differential Object Marking” from April 01, 2021 until March 31, 2022 (65%, 25.89 hours/week) with the possibility to extend the contract until December 31,2024. Salary is determined following the salary scale E 13 according to German TVL.

The project aims at modeling Differential Object Marking (DOM) as a result of a complex interaction of nominal and verbal prominence-lending properties. One of the major challenges is to develop a model that allows for variation on both the micro level between closely related varieties and the macro level between Spanish and Turkish. Though manifesting commonalities in DOM with respect to its semantic/pragmatic function, Spanish and Turkish provide interesting divergences on the ranking of prominence-lending features, their interaction with structural conditions of the particular variety, and the way DOM is expressed.
