The project investigates the impact of semantic and pragmatic factors on argument structure. Comparative experimental studies are conducted in several languages including German, Chinese, Turkish, Korean, and Modern Greek. We invite applications for a half-time position (EGr. 13 TV-L HU, 50%, according to the German public service pay scale), to be filled by a doctoral student. The position has an initial term for two years, with the possibility of extension on the basis of successful project prolongation. The researcher is expected to collaborate in the development of empirical methods (observational and experimental) for the cross-linguistic study of argument structure and to conduct empirical research in the languages of his/her expertise. He/she is expected to present the results of his/her work in scientific conferences and to publish the findings of the empirical research in linguistic journals. The ideal candidate should have prior experience in experimental methods in linguistics ideally related to syntactic and/or semantic research questions. Applicants need to have a master's degree or equivalent in linguistics or a closely related field. The preparation of a PhD-dissertation on a topic related to the project is possible. Good command of English is required, knowledge of German is an advantage. Candidates are requested to send their applications (cover letter describing research interests and CV) to the address given below. E-mail applications using pdf-documents are welcome.
