Description:

We have an exciting opportunity for a fully funded PhD in historical
linguistics with the Surrey Morphology Group (University of Surrey,
UK) on the subject of change to inflectional morphology.

We invite research proposals investigating morphological change in any
language or family, and particularly encourage proposals taking an
empirical approach, i.e. involving the collection and analysis of
diachronic data. Potential topics for investigation could include (but
are not limited to) areas such as:
 - Mechanisms or statistical tendencies of morphological change;
 - Interactions between morphological change and phonology or syntax;
 - Origins of and/or constraints on the development of particular
morphological phenomena;
 - Effects of sociolinguistic conditions on morphological change.

The Surrey Morphology Group is a world-class research centre dedicated
to the study of language diversity and its theoretical consequences.
The student will receive comprehensive training and support in a
lively and stimulating research environment, working alongside leading
researchers on inflectional morphology.

This studentship is part of the project Predicting language evolution:
Analogy in morphological change, funded by the Leverhulme Trust. The
studentship covers all fees (international fees will be waived) and a
maintenance stipend at UKRI rates (currently £17,668 p.a.), and
includes a budget for conference travel. Applicants from any country
are encouraged to apply.
