Job Rank: Researcher
Specialty Areas: Applied Linguistics; Second Language Acquisition
Required Language(s): Spanish (spa)

Description:
Research Fellow (Spanish linguistics/SLA)
Salary: £23,457-£25,633

Applications are invited for the position of Research Fellow on the 
ESRC-funded research project "Linguistic development in L2 Spanish: 
creation and analysis of a learner corpus" (www.splloc.soton.ac.uk). 
Based in the School of Humanities/ Modern Languages at the University of 
Southampton (UK), you will contribute to all aspects of data gathering, 
database creation, data analysis and dissemination on this collaborative 
project.
The other members of the research team are: Professor Ros  Mitchell 
(Project Director); Professor Florence Myles (Project Director, 
University of Newcastle); Dr Emma Marsden (Project Director, University 
of York); Dr Laura Dominguez (Assistant Director) and Dr Sarah Rule 
(CHILDES adviser).
This is a 2-year project which started in April 2006. (The post of 
Research Fellow is being re-advertised because of the promotion of Dr 
Dominguez to Lecturer in Modern Languages.)

The aims of the project are:

1. To establish a small scale, high quality database of spoken learner 
Spanish, transcribe and tag the data using CHILDES software and promote 
use of this new resource among the Spanish SLA research community.
2. To undertake a short programme of substantive research into L2 
Spanish morphosyntax using the database (development of verb 
inflections, verb movement, clitic pronouns and word order).
3. To clarify interfaces between morphology, syntax and pragmatics in 
the development of L2 Spanish.

During the first year of the project the team is designing a range of 
elicitation tasks to gather spoken L2 Spanish from learners at beginner, 
intermediate and advanced level. Using these tasks, digital audio data 
will be collected from learners in local schools and colleges, and also 
from undergraduates in Southampton and Newcastle, in the winter of 2006-7.
The digital audio data will be transcribed using CHAT conventions, and 
tagged for parts of speech using CLAN software. The substantive research 
programme of the project will be carried out during the second year of 
the project, and will also be supported through the use of CLAN.

Applicants will hold a doctorate in a relevant area of 
linguistics/applied linguistics/ second language acquisition, and will 
have a good knowledge of Spanish morphosyntax as well as second language 
acquisition theory. Applicants will have fieldwork experience, and an 
interest/ aptitude in the development of corpus based approaches to 
research on the L2 acquisition of Spanish syntax, morphology and 
pragmatics. Native/ near native competence in Spanish is required.

This is a fixed term full time appointment from 1 October 2006 until 31 
March 2008.
