Description:

The Chair of Romance Linguistics (Spanish) at the Institut für
Romanistik of Humboldt University in Berlin is pleased to offer a
postdoctoral researcher position associated with the project "On the
interplay between register and dialectal variation in Canarian Spanish
morpho-syntax," based on the hree-dimensional communication model of
diasystematic variation by P. Koch and W. Österreicher ([1985] 2012).
This project focuses on typical linguistic phenomena of the Spanish
spoken in the Canary Islands in a variety of contexts that can be
classified on a continuum from the most informal to the most formal.

Specifically, this project investigates the interaction between
register and dialectal variation as manifested in the use (or absence)
of three typical morpho-syntactic phenomena of Spanish spoken in the
Islands: (i) the (non-)agreement of the existential verb haber with a
plural noun (e.g., había.3SG vs. habían.3PL ‘there were’); (ii) the
variation in complements in locative adverbial contexts (e.g.,
enfrente de nosotros ‘in front of us’ vs. enfrente nuestro/a ‘lit. in
front of ours’), and (iii) the possessive expression in nominal
environments (e.g., nuestra casa ‘our house’ vs. la casa nuestra ‘lit.
the house ours‘ vs. la casa de nosotros/as ‘lit. the house of us’).
The aim is to verify the possibility that in the Canary Islands, one
or several standard, regional, and normative varieties are developing
alongside other intermediate varieties, as expected in a diaglossic
environment.

This project is part of the larger Collaborative Research Centre (CRC)
1412 on Register: Language Users’ Knowledge of Situational-Functional
Variation, funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG:
https://sfb1412.hu-berlin.de/). Therefore, the availability and
confirmation of this postdoctoral position depend on the grant
approval from the DFG for this project. The final decision is expected
by the end of November 2023. Only if the funding is granted, the
position will be filled.
