Description:

The University of Freiburg, one of Germany's Universities of Excellence, 
invites applications for 8 fully-funded Ph.D. scholarships on the topic of 
frequency effects in language, beginning no earlier than October 1, 2012, and 
no later than March 1, 2013. Successful applicants will be members of the 
Research Training Group on "Frequency effects in language"
(Graduiertenkolleg GRK 1624/1) funded by the German Research 
Foundation (DFG).  

Frequency is assumed to be a possible determinant in usage-based models 
of language change, language acquisition and language processing. In the 
Ph.D. projects this determinant will be investigated with a view both to its 
explanatory potential and its limitations. The envisaged research combines 
quantitative approaches to language with cognitivist-psycholinguistic 
approaches and is empirically based on experimental and corpus data for 
standard and non-standard varieties of different languages.

We offer a high-profile research environment, an interdisciplinary teaching 
programme, a full grant of 13,200 EUR per annum for a period of up to 3 
years, and additional grants covering travel and research expenses.
