Dear Algonquian Listserve Colleagues,

I’d be grateful if you would circulate this message where relevant.

With thanks, Julie Brittain


SUPPORT, M.A./Ph.D. Memorial University, Newfoundland

The Department of Linguistics at Memorial University, Newfoundland, invites applications for graduate admission for Fall 2014, or possibly for a January 2015 start, from qualified students for the M.A. (with thesis) degree. We are also willing to consider applications from Ph.D. students. Students will undertake thesis research within context of the Chisasibi Child Language Acquisition Study (CCLAS), a longitudinal first language acquisition study of (East) Cree. Familiarity with the structure of an Algonquian language, or of other languages of the Americas, is highly desirable. Some knowledge of the theories of first language acquisition would be an asset but is not required. Competitive funding is available. Research opportunities are available in the areas of phonetics/phonology and morphology/syntax. For further information about projects currently ongoing within CCLAS, contact Julie Brittain (brittain at mun.ca). For an overview of work completed/ongoing, see “project output” at http://www.mun.ca/cclas/work_completed. 

For details of the CCLAS project please see: http://www.mun.ca/cclas.
