Descripción: 

The research group GLIMS (Ghent Research Team on Linguistic Meaning and Structure) is looking for a full-time doctoral fellow for the period of four years, to work on a project funded by the UGent Special Research Fund (BOF) (see the summary below).


In search of the analytical resultative construction: A microtypological comparison of Romance and Germanic languages.


Degree requirements: Master of (historical) linguistics (or an equivalent degree).


The candidate should have an excellent knowledge of French and Spanish, in addition to a third (Romance or Germanic) language.


The candidate is expected to have a great interest in linguistic research, as evidenced in, preferably, a Master paper in the area of linguistics with a focus on (at least) one of the languages mentioned above. Experience in corpus linguistics is certainly a plus.


Ghent University offers a four-year contract starting on 1 November 2016. In this time a PhD dissertation has to be completed. Information about salary can be found on the website.


Applications should be submitted by email and should consist of: a detailed CV (including degree grades and title of Master Thesis), a letter of motivation in French or Spanish.


Contact one of the project supervisors for more information: (peter.lauwers, renata.enghels, miriam.taverniers, marleen.vanpeteghem).


This project is looking for (traces of) the resultative verbal construction (e.g. Ed hammers the metal flat; flat = the result of the hammering) in a number of Romance (French, Spanish) and one Germanic (e.g. Dutch) language. The aim is to capture the microtypological variation w.r.t. the lexical scope (what categories are allowed in this construction: adjectives? prepositional phrases? nominals?) and productivity of the construction (is the construction limited to a specific verb class, or is it open?), against the background of other typological properties of the languages studied.
