Description:

Dear Linguistlist members,

Hope you all had a wonderful break over the festive season. We are pleased to
announce opportunities for funded PhDs in a few areas of linguistics at
Northumbria. Please see the link below for more information and kindly share
with your network if appropriate! 
https://www.findaphd.com/phds/programme/department-of-humanities/?p4228

Language and Linguistics: general field of descriptive and empirical
linguistics, including individual differences in language processing; aspects
of second language speech acquisition and learning; and evolution of language
and cognition in early humans or precursor species.

If you/ your contact have specific interests in aspects of second language
speech, please feel free to contact myself for more information. For enquiries
related to other areas, please follow instructions on the webpage. 

Best wishes,
Alex

Linguistic and social dimensions of second language speech
This PhD level project will involve an empirical investigation into aspects of
second language speech and acquisition, focusing for example on the issues of
intelligibility, comprehensibility and accentedness. The precise focus of
study is dependent upon candidates’ specific interest and expertise and is
open to negotiation. The study will incorporate quantitative and/ or
qualitative methods to help explore how social and linguistic aspects of
second language speech interact. It should also attempt to draw implications
for communications that take place among multilinguals.
 
The successful candidate will undertake PhD level study, working in tandem
with similar research currently being undertaken by Dr. Alex Ho-Cheong Leung,
Dr. Robert McKenzie, and associated PhD students in the English Language &
Linguistics group at Northumbria University. Her/his project will also
contribute more broadly to research carried out in the Institute of Humanities
at Northumbria in the areas of mobility, diasporas and borders.

See: 
https://www.northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/academic-departments/humanities/researc
h/english-research/english-language-and-linguistics/ 

It is expected that candidates will have a background in areas related to
Second language speech acquisition, Applied Linguistics, Second language
learning and pedagogy, Linguistics, Education, Sociolinguistics and/ or
Psychology.
