Graduate Fellowships for Slavic Linguistics at Princeton

[Leonard Babby]

The Slavic Department and the Program in Linguistics at Princeton
University are happy to invite applications to its joint Ph.D. Program
in Slavic and Theoretical Linguistics  for the 2004-2005 academic year.
The program is designed to train students  in the framework of
generative grammar, focusing on the Slavic languages. Students typically
do course work in theoretical linguistics, Slavic linguistics
(synchronic and diachronic), and the Slavic languages (Russian,  Czech,
Polish, and Croatian/Serbian are offered on a regular basis). Candidates
are admitted to the Slavic Department, but members of both the Program
in Linguistics and the Slavic Department  participate in all aspects of
the program. The core faculty is: L. Babby and M. Fried in Slavic, M.
Browning,  R. Freidin, J. Katz, and E. Williams in linguistics.

All students admitted to the Princeton joint Ph.D. program receive a
five-year fellowship, which covers tuition and provides a generous
living stipend (including summer support) each year and other benefits.
The Ph.D. general examinations are typically administered after the
second year of study. The core courses in Slavic and theoretical
linguistics are given in a two-year, four semester cycle (= 16 courses),
which leaves three years of support for dissertation writing. Students
are encouraged to become teaching assistants in both linguistics and
Slavic language courses after they pass the Ph.D. examinations.

Applicants should have either an undergraduate or graduate background in
Slavic languages and/or theoretical linguistics. Preference will be
given to applicants who know at least one Slavic language (including
native speakers) and have done course work in theoretical (general)
linguistics. All applicants must know Russian. Students who know one or
more Slavic languages but have no formal training in theoretical
linguistics may apply if they are interested in studying the Slavic
languages in a generative framework.
