Description:

In conjunction with our institutional partners, the Department of Linguistics 
at Northwestern University invites applications for graduate fellowships in 
linguistics and interdisciplinary research in language. All admitted students 
receive a 5 year funding commitment (subject to satisfactory progress 
towards the degree) including tuition, a 12-month stipend, and health 
insurance. Students also have access to a variety of institutional resources for 
supporting student research projects and professional travel.

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
