*AHRC-funded Collaborative PhD Studentship*

*Bangor University, **Graduate School Of Arts, Education & Humanities*

**

Bangor University, in partnership with Dr John Olsson of the /Forensic 
Linguistics Institute/, is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified 
applicant for a Collaborative doctoral studentship for three years 
commencing on 1 October 2011.

The overall theme of this collaborative programme is, /"Language 
variation in electronic messaging: Stylistic parameters that make a 
'linguistic fingerprint' problematic."/It involves identifying how a 
person's 'tell' [i.e., telling linguistic features that can reveal who 
the speaker/ author is] can vary across contexts in general, and 
electronic communications in particular. This study is of direct 
relevance to the field of forensic linguistics where much work involves 
authorship attribution. While the bulk of this work will be in the 
medium of English, two additional, pilots will also be conducted in 
German and Welsh, to offer this project a cross-cultural dimension; and 
the methods to be used include qualitative, discourse analysis. //

//

The//Principal supervisor is Dr June Luchjenbroers, School of 
Linguistics; and other members of the supervisory team include: 
Professor Ineke Mennen, School of Linguistics / ESRC Bilingualism 
Centre; Professor Carol Tully, School of Modern Languages; and Mrs 
Delyth Prys of Bangor University, Language Technologies Unit. The School 
of Linguistics boasts world-leading researchers and further information 
about the School of Linguistics is available from the following 
website:http://www.bangor.ac.uk/linguistics.

with Dr John Olsson of the /Forensic Linguistics Institute/, Powys Wales UK.
