10 Ph.D. Scholarships in Linguistics “Frequency effects in language”
The University of Freiburg, one of Germany’s nine Universities of
Excellence, invites applications for 10 fully-funded Ph.D.
scholarships in linguistics, beginning no earlier than October 1,
2009, and no later than March 1, 2010. Successful applicants will be
members of the Research Training Group on “Frequency effects in
language” (Graduiertenkolleg GRK 1624/1) funded by the German Research
Foundation (DFG).
Frequency is assumed to be a possible determinant in usage-based
models of language change, language acquisition and language
processing. In the Ph.D. projects this determinant will be
investigated with a view both to its explanatory potential and its
limitations. The envisaged research integrates descriptive-linguistic
and cognitivist-psycholinguistic approaches and is empirically based
on corpora for standard and non-standard varieties of European
languages.
We offer a high-profile research environment, an interdisciplinary
teaching programme, a full grant of 13,200 € per annum for a period of
up to 3 years, and additional grants covering travel and research
expenses.

projects, and application details, please visit our website: www.hpsl.uni-freiburg.de/grk-frequenz
Deadline for application: June 22, 2009
