An Interactional Linguistics project funded by the Israel Science
Foundation focusing on the multimodal study of adverbial structures in

Hebrew interactions

and the actions implemented by them in the Haifa Multimodal Corpus of
Spoken Hebrew (Maschler et al. 2024)
 - Participating in comparative studies with parallel research teams
in Europe working on Swedish, French, and Estonian data

The participating student will enroll in the Department of Hebrew
Language at the University of Haifa and write a thesis based on part
of this research.
 - While there is a preference for Ph.D. candidates, M.A. candidates
will also be considered.

Requirements:
 - Academic background in linguistics, preferably in interactional
linguistics and/or discourse and grammar
