----------------------------------------------

Scientific background
One of the aims of current work in quantitative and experimental
syntax is to identify factors with predictive power on speakers'
choices when faced with syntactic alternations, i.e. cases where the
speaker has a choice between two or more syntactic structures to
express equivalent meanings.
The main goal of the PULCO project is to describe and model the
syntactic choices made by French speakers, by determining the role and
weight of linguistic and functional factors. To achieve this, the
project is based on the comparison of quantitative results obtained
from oral corpus data and experimental results obtained from
controlled protocols. The project also includes a study of regional
variations in syntax, comparing the effect of relevant factors on
different varieties of French (Parisian French, Southwestern French,
Swiss French, Belgian French).

Mission:
Work package 2 of the project, entitled "Quantitative corpus approach
and predictive models", focuses on the use of data from oral corpora,
in particular the Corpus d'Etude pour le Français Contemporain, to
propose models capable of predicting specific syntactic uses. The
postdoc will carry out his or her research within the framework of
this work package.
Profile required
 - PhD in linguistics or related field
 - Solid background in linguistics
 - In-depth knowledge of quantitative approaches and statistical
modeling in linguistics
 - Expertise in automatic corpus data processing
 - Experience in linguistic annotation of language data
 - International publications
 - Ability to work as part of a team, within a collective project
 - Autonomy, rigor and creativity
 - Very good English skills: ability to present work in English, both
written and spoken
 - Good level of French, particularly in oral comprehension
