PhD post: Université Paris-Diderot (Paris 7)---language acquisition,  
dialogue, semantics, machine learning

Applicants are invited for a full time PhD post to work within the  10- 
year project Labaratory of Excellence (LabEx) "Empirical foundations  
of linguistics" ( http://www.labex-efl.org/). The candidate will work  
in Strand 4: Language representation and processing in a  lifespan  
perspective.

The successful applicant, who will be based at the Laboratoire de  
Linguistique Formelle (LLF), Université Paris-Diderot (Paris 7) ( http://www.llf.cnrs.fr 
  ) . She or he should have  qualifications in linguistics, computer  
science, or psycholinguistics at the Master's level or equivalent.

The thesis, which can be written in English, will involve research  
within a project developing a  model of language acquisition that  
integrates parent-child interaction as part of the primary data. The  
empirical basis will be  corpus  studies of multimodal child-parent  
interaction. Modelling will involve developing techniques that  
integrate dialogue modelling and machine learning as the basis for a  
theory of how grammar emerges at the very early stages of language  
acquisition. Research will also  involve  development of grammars for  
early child utterances and induction algorithms that will allow such  
grammars to change on the basis of interactions. The applicant will be  
working in an international interdisciplinary research team.

Applicants will be assessed by  committee from the LabEx EFL. The main  
emphasis of the assessment will be on the applicant's potential for  
research, as evident from: Master's thesis or equivalent other  
scholarly works.
