Surrey Morphology Group are pleased to announce that funding is available
for UK, EU and International candidates wishing to study for a PhD in
Linguistics at the University of Surrey, Guildford, UK.

Surrey Morphology Group is a linguistics research centre dedicated to the
study of language diversity and its theoretical consequences. Postgraduates
studying Theoretical, Descriptive and Typological Linguistics benefit from
membership of a community of researchers in the Surrey Morphology Group
working on a variety of topics related to linguistic diversity and its
consequences for the analysis of grammatical systems.

Three different opportunities for funding are available:

*Full AHRC scholarships* are available for Home students (resident in the
UK for three years). Fees only awards from the AHRC are available for EU
students.

*Faculty scholarships* are available for Home, EU students and
International students. Full scholarships (Fees and Stipend) are available
for Home and Uk applicants.

Successful International students will be awarded a stipend and receive a
substantial discount on the international fees. Please note that full
international fees are not covered: candidates should ensure that they are
in a position to cover the outstanding costs.

We also have a *AHRC position for a PhD student* to undertake fieldwork on
Nuer (Nilotic) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia as part of an AHRC-funded research
project entitled 'Morphological complexity in Nuer'. This full scholarship
is open to Home (i.e. UK) students. A fees only scholarship is available to
EU students. The closing date for applications is Friday 9th January.

Surrey Morphology Group.

Research in Linguistics at the University of Surrey focuses on the
consequences linguistic diversity has for developing theories of language
structure and use. The languages and linguistic settings researched cover
the entire globe, with specialists documenting and describing the structure
and use of familiar and less familiar languages spoken in the Pacific,
Asia, the Caucasus, Europe, Africa and the Americas.

*Key research areas include:*

   - Theoretical morphology (including Network Morphology and Paradigm
   Function Morphology)
   - Morphological interfaces
   - Linguistic typology (including Canonical Typology)
   - Language Documentation and Description (including Austronesian,
   Nakh-Daghestanian, Niger-Congo, Nilo-Saharan, Oto-Manguean, Papuan,
   Slavonic, Tibeto-Burman languages)
