Macquarie University is offering a bundled Masters by Research + PhD scholarship (1+3 years) in Conversation Analysis/Interactional Linguistics and Language Documentation, as part of a comparative research project ‘Conversational Interaction in Aboriginal and
Remote Australia’, funded by the Australian Research Council (2018-2022). The research team consists of Dr Joe Blythe (Macquarie University), Professor Lesley Stirling (University of Melbourne), Associate Professor Ilana Mushin (University of Queensland) and
Associate Professor Rod Gardner (University of Queensland). The project will compare informal conversations conducted in four Australian Aboriginal languages (Jaru, Gija, Murrinhpatha and Garrwa) with conversations conducted in non-Aboriginal English in rural
and remote outback regions of Australia. The successful applicant will work with Dr Joe Blythe on documenting conversation in Jaru, a Pama-Nyungan language of Western Australia.</p>

The candidate will help build a video corpus of Jaru conversation for his/her dissertation, and contribute to the larger project which will investigate possible variation within the interactional domain by comparing conversation conducted in under-described
Indigenous languages and poorly documented varieties of English, by people with very different cultural backgrounds. The specific topic of the student’s dissertation is negotiable.</p>

The candidate should have a background in typologically oriented linguistics, conversation analysis/interaction linguistics, or linguistic anthropology.</p>
