Description:

The University of Nova Gorica, Slovenia is offering a funded young
researcher position (PhD) in the fields of semantics and pragmatics
under the supervision of Prof.Dr. Penka Stateva. Specifically, the
project work will focus on cross-linguistic variation at the interface
between semantics and pragmatics and their relation to syntax. It will
explore phenomena such as:
 - Comparison – the relation between comparative and superlative
construction; focus and ambiguity in comparison constructions;
comparison and polarity licensing; combinatorial properties of phrasal
and clausal comparatives; presuppositions in comparison constructions;
 - Polarity and its locality constraints – licensing in different
embedded contexts; Negative Concord (NC) vs Negative Polarity (NP) in
embedded clauses; intervention effects on NPIs and N-words; strict vs
non-strict NC; minimizer NP items and presupposition; pragmatic
effects of NPIs and N-words in interrogative contexts;
 - Presupposition and implicature in the domains of comparison,
polarity, questions;
 - Focus as related to phenomena within the domain of comparison and
polarity.

The theoretical part of the research will be complemented by
experimental investigations into cognitive mechanisms underlying
semantic and pragmatic processing, which may involve behavioral,
eye-tracking and/or neurophysiological (event-related brain
potentials) experimental paradigms.
