appointed will have an outstanding research and publication
record in one or more of the areas of linguistics from phonology
to pragmatics, not forgetting interface areas such as language
acquisition, socio- or computational linguistics.  A
specialisation in Romance or Germanic linguistics may be an
advantage but is not a prerequisite for applying.

Salary within the national professorial range, minimum GBP33,882 per
annum.

Informal enquiries can be made to Professor Geoffrey T Harris,
Director, ESRI.  E-mail: g.t.harris at mod-lang.salford.ac.uk

computational linguistics.

Preference will be given to applicants in the above mentioned
areas.  Knowledge of German is highly desirable.  However,
outstanding applicants in other areas of theoretical or
