Schmid (http://www.rug.nl/staff/m.s.schmid/research). The program examines to what extent second language learners can attain fully native-like representations of grammatical gender, and what the role of their own language background and the age at which they started acquiring the L2 is in this respect. In order to shed more light on this question, migrants who have lived in an environment where a non-gender language is spoken are also investigated. The project will employ neurocognitive experimental techniques (ERPs and eyetracking) as well as more traditional behavioral measures (grammaticality judgments and free speech). Additional information as well as a complete description of the project and the PhD/Postdoc subprojects can be obtained from the principal investigator or secretary CLGC. Requirements: - PhD degree in (Neuro-/Psycho-/Applied/General) Linguistics or a related field - In-depth knowledge of theoretical approaches to second language acquisition - Native or near-native speaker of Dutch or German and excellent command of English - Ability to work in a research team - Ability or willingness to learn to apply experimental methods is an advantage For further information on the advert and for the application details please use the application URL below.
