Dear all,
We are looking to fill a PhD position (4 years, 65% FTE) in the project
“The role of gender in prominence hierarchies: A cross-linguistic and
cross-register perspective”. This project is part of the CRC “Prominence
in Language” at the University of Cologne. The project is co-led by Elen
Le Foll and Stefan Hinterwimmer.
We aim to investigate the extent to which both social and grammatical
gender hierarchies are reflected in linguistic prominence hierarchies.
We will conduct corpus and experimental studies to investigate the
potential role of gender in a number of morphosyntactic alternations in
(i) English (a language with no grammatical gender), (ii) French (a
language with two grammatical genders that mostly match
social/referential genders), and (iii) German (a language with more than
two grammatical genders).
We are looking for a doctoral researcher interested in
using quantitative corpus-linguistic methods and multivariable
statistical techniques to account for the multi-dimensionality of
prominence in naturally occurring data.
*Your tasks*
* Collect and pre-process corpus data in German and French
* Perform linguistic annotation on corpus data in German and French
* Design and conduct corpus studies on morpho-syntactic alternations
in German and French
* Analyse the results using multivariable statistical methods
* Collaborate with the project leaders on related studies
* Present your work at international conferences
* Publish your results in academic journals
*Your profile*
* You are familiar with corpus linguistics research
* You have experience with R (and/or other programming languages)
* You have experience with statistical modeling (preferably in R)
* You are highly proficient in English
* You are proficient in German and French
* You enjoy working in a team
* You can quickly adapt to new research topics
* You are interested in learning new research methods
Application deadline: *17 January 2025*
Start date: *1 April 2025*
