department's reseach profile:

In syntax/Semantics (specifically for work related to
theories of functional categories; the syntax/semantics interface; or
monostratal models of grammar). =20

In Phonetics/Phonology (specifically for work in the formal modelling
of phonetic interpretation in declarative prosodic phonology; or the
modelling of voice source characteristics for personalized speech
synthesis).

Award holders will be required to undertake up to sixty-six hours
teaching each year as a condition of their grant. We also run a taught
MA course in linguistics, and award holders will have the opportunity
to follow some or all of this course as preparation for their
