projects.

Start: 1.1.1998
Duration: 2 years in the first instance
PhD required. Knowledge of German useful but not essential.

(1)    Project 3 "Noncanonical complementation"

The project investigates the syntax of relative clauses and
related constructions within the current generative framework.
A qualified semantician with a close interest in the syntax-
semantics interface is sought. Research topics include
(i) reconstruction  effects in relative clauses, clefts,
    pseudoclefts
(ii) degree ('amount') relatives and comparatives

(2)    Project 5 "Predicative constructions"

The project deals with lexical semantics and interfaces with
morpho-syntax, focussing on predicative constructions with
copula verbs including 'remain/become' in different languages.
A qualified semantician trained in representational formalisms
and primarily interested in the interface between syntax,
semantics and the lexicon is sought.
