This position is linked to the work package « Prosodic phrasing and prosodic hierarchy : a data driven approach » of the strand « Phonetic and phonological complexity - boosting empirical approaches » project. The successful candidate will investigate how to provide a formal grammar that accounts for prosodic phrasing in French in a stochastic grammatical paradigm. As many independantly motivated constraints come into play and interact in a complex way, corpus analyses will be necessary to formulare and outweight the various constraints/parameters. Applications for a full-time 6 month position or for a 1 year part-time position will be considered. The applicant should have a PhD in phonology or phonetics. S/he should also have the following skills : (i) excellent knoweldge of phonological and phonetics works dedicated to phrasing and the phonology-syntax interface. Comprehensive understanding of recent stochastic approaches to phonological modeling will be highly valuable (stochastic OT, etc.) (ii) research experience in phrasing in French and/or in other Romance or Germanic languages (iii) experience in corpus work and experimental phonology (designing an experience to elicit data, etc.) The candidate should send a CV with list of publications, a website where publications can be found and the names of two referents.
