The Amsterdam Center for Language and Communication (ACLC) is a

van Amsterdam. At the ACLC are now available

The other three positions fall within the scope of "The Language
Blueprint", which constitutes the basic document for research at the
ACLC. From the research programmes and special theme projects ten PhD
projects have been selected for which candidates may apply. The
projects are listed here below. Projects with a title in Dutch
indicate that good knowledge of Dutch is required.

2. Parts of speech systems in a diachronic perspective.
3. West-Germaanse OV en VO: de status van uitzonderingen.
4. De ontwikkeling van agreement in Romaans-Germaans tweetalige
