2. linguist, Visiting Assistant Professor at The University of Montana-Missoula

Position in a research project on 
English and German particle verb formation at the 
University of Leipzig.

The research project funded by the Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research
Foundation) entitled 'Particle verb formation in 
English and German' has a vacancy for a research 
position (remuneration: 1/2 BATO-IIa) for 19 
hours per week, ideal for doctoral or 
postdoctoral research. The position may be taken 
up as soon as April 1999 and will last from one 
to two years. The project is concerned with 
English and German particle verbs ('chill out, 
blow up, einlegen, herausfordern'). We are 
interested in the morphological, syntactic and 
semantic/ conceptual aspects of these complex 
verbs from an empirical and a theoretical 
perspective. The successful applicant would have 
a good knowledge of modern syntactic and/or 
semantic theory. A good command of German and 
English is necessary, although the candidate 
would be concentrating mainly on the English 
constructions. Applicants who additionally have 
skills in corpus linguistics would be in a 
favourable position. Preliminary applications (in 
English or German) would include a curriculum 
vitae (tabular form acceptable) which indicates 
the linguistic qualifications and areas of 
linguistic research/ interest of the applicant, 
and a list of publications, if any. Preliminary 
applications can be sent by email and will be 
receipted immediately. For more on the project,
