Successful applicants will be members of the Research Training Group on "Frequency effects in language" (Graduiertenkolleg GRK 1624/1) funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). Frequency is assumed to be a possible determinant in usage-based models of language change, language acquisition and language processing. In the Ph.D. projects this determinant will be investigated with a view both to its explanatory potential and its limitations. The envisaged research combines quantitative approaches to language with cognitivist-psycholinguistic approaches and is empirically based on experimental and corpus data for standard and non-standard varieties of different languages. We offer a high-profile research environment, an interdisciplinary teaching programme, a full grant of 13,200 EUR per annum for a period of up to 3 years, and additional grants covering travel and research expenses.
