Description:

The Department of German Language and Literature I at the Faculty of Arts and
Humanities of the University of Cologne is currently seeking to fill the
position of a PhD Position (m/f/d) in the Collaborative Research Centre 1252
„Prominence in Language“, sub project C04 “Conceptual and referential
activation in discourse” from August 01, 2021 until December 31,2024. Salary
is determined following the salary scale E 13 according to German TVL. 

As a basis for research sub project C04 Conceptual and referential activation
in discourse, we propose that prominence relations are among the core features
contributing to referent management - at the level of comprehension and at the
level of discourse planning. We suggest that, in referent management,
prominence-lending features affect two related processes: activation of a
concept and activation of a referent. The overall goal of the project is to
develop a discourse model that can account for some key features in discourse
processing, in particular for those features that are associated with concept
activation and referent activation.
