that were in place in the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of
the 20th century. The specific focus of the project will revolve around Creole
languages, Romance linguistics, Basque studies, specific topics in general
and historical linguistics, contact languages, and plurilingualism.
Duration of the project: 3 years
Start date: October 1st 2012

conferences and publications); willingness to use electronic means of
information management and to engage in team work; commitment to register
in the PhD program of the Linguistics department (with a possible external co-
supervisor). The theme of the thesis may be directly linked to the project or
more loosely related.
