Utrecht Institute of Linguistics OTS offers<br><br>
<b>1 PhD position in Syntax<br>
</b>Institute UiL OTS has approximately 100 affiliated researchers,
including 19 full professors, 15 post-docs and about 40 PhD students. UiL
OTS's aim is to further scientific research into language, speech and
language use. UiL OTS hosts the Dutch National Research School in
Linguistics LOT.<br><br>
<b>Program. This PhD position is part of a five-year research program
concerning syntax-semantics interface, funded by </b>The Netherlands
Organization for Scientific Research NWO (project number PR-06-99). The
goal of the program is to investigate and understand the cross-linguistic
properties of marking on non-verbal predicates (predicate case, copulas
and copular particles). The program will develop a theory of non-verbal
predicate marking and use it to explain the cross-linguistic variation
observed in this domain.<br><br>
The program comprises one PhD project, whose goal within the project is
to collect and analyze cross-linguistic data on copular particles.
<br><br>
<u>PhD project</u> (starting date between 1-9-2008 and 1-1.2009, maybe
slightly later, but this would correspondingly reduce the period of
funding): The goal of this PhD project is to investigate cross-linguistic
distribution and properties of copular particles. Descriptive grammars of
various languages with copular particles will be examined and native
speakers will be consulted in order to determine the answer to the
following questions:<br><br>
- Copular particles may appear with NP
predicates only, or be different for AP and NP predicates. Are there
other factors to which their presence and appearance is sensitive? In
particular, can they be sensitive to the semantics of their environment,
as is translative case-marking in Finnish?<br>
- What are the syntactic role and lexical
or functional category of copular particles? Are they
cross-linguisticall<wbr>y the same (modulo the lexical category of the
predicate)?<br>
- Are the overt predicatorsof Bailyn 2002,
such as <i>for</i> in <i>They took him for an idiot</i>, to be equated
with copular particles?<br><br>
The outcome of this project is a description of the distribution of
copular particles in several unrelated languages and a theoretical
proposal governing this distribution. <br>
<br>
<b>Goals.</b> <br>
The PhD project involves training in research and completion of a PhD
dissertation. As part of her/his training, the PhD student will take
courses offered by the National Graduate School in Linguistics (LOT).
<br><br>
<b>Qualifications<br>
</b>We are looking for an ambitious student holding an MA degree in
formal generative syntax (the Principles and Parameters framework). The
candidate must have an MA degree in hand before the project starts. The
ideal candidate has some experience with the syntax of Celtic or African
(Edo, Chichewa) languages. He/she must have a good command of English and
be prepared to collaborate with researchers with widely varying
backgrounds.<br><br>
<b>Conditions<br>
</b>The successful candidate is offered a one-year contract as AiO (Ph.D.
student) with the possibility of renewal with three years maximum, after
evaluation. The AiO will work on the basis of 1.0 FTE and receive a gross
monthly salary of ¬ 1.956,- during the first year. We also offer a
pension scheme, a holiday allowance of 8% per year and flexible
employment conditions. Conditions are based on the Collective Employment
Agreement of the Dutch Universities.<br><br>
UIL-OTS features a stimulating, innovative, and internationally oriented
research environment which offers opportunities for a broad professional
development. Courses are offered by internationally renowned experts,
while possibilities for conference visiting are plentiful. We offer
excellent experimental facilities and computational support.<br><br>
