Subject:  Diachrony of Complex Predicates in West-Germanic/ Research

In the framework of a research programme grant for three
researchers,titled 'the Diachrony of Complex Predicates in
West-Germanic', one four-year paid position is available for research
leading to a doctoral thesis.

The research programme as a whole is directed by professors Geert Booij
(Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) and Ans van Kemenade (University of
Nijmegen), and funded to a large extent by the Netherlands Organization
for Scientific

Research, NWO. The aim of the programme is to come to an extensive,
indepth, theoretically inspired and corpus-based study of the historical
development of separable complex verbs in the West-Germanic languages.
The programme comprises a postdoctoral project on Gothic and Old High
German with Dr. Bettelou Los as the researcher; a PhD project on the
history of Dutch with Corrien Blom as the researcher; and a PhD project
on the history of English, for which we now seek a candidate. This
project concentrates on (Middle) English, and will be conducted at the
University of Nijmegen under the direction of prof. Ans van Kemenade.

Requirements: the succesful candidate should have affinity with a
theoretical approach as well as with detailed data research in
computerized corpora. The institutional embedding of the project will
ensure some further training in both of these aspects. We seek a
candidate with undergraduate training in English, with a specialism in
language/(historical) linguistics. For further information, contact
a.v.kemenade at let.kun.nl. The post is tenable from 1 June 2001 or as soon
as possible thereafter.
