Description:

In conjunction with our institutional partners, the Department of Linguistics at
Northwestern University invites applications for fully funded graduate
fellowships in linguistics and interdisciplinary research in language. 
Northwestern has a vibrant community of researchers actively working on a wide
variety of issues in language structure and processing, utilizing a diverse
range of methods and populations.

Issues:
-  Structure of linguistic systems within and across levels: Pragmatics,
Semantics, Syntax, Morphology, Phonology, Phonetics
-  Perception, production and acquisition of first and second languages
-  Dynamics of language: diachronic change; experience-related plasticity
-  Language and music: Parallels and interactions

Methods:
-  Statistical modeling; probabilistic approaches to language structure and
processing
-  Formal/mathematical theories of linguistic systems
-  Experimental studies of language; psycholinguistics
-  Acoustic phonetics; prosody and intonation
-  Machine learning and natural language processing; corpus analysis
-  Functional and structural neuroimaging; electrophysiology

Populations:
-  Mono- and multilingual
-  Infant, young adult and elderly
-  Acquired and developmental disorders
