Description:
Applications are invited for one postdoctoral research position (salary scale

funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation) as
part of the Sonderforschungsbereich 471 'Variation and evolution in the lexicon'.
Project description:
The main focus of the project is to understand how linguistic representations
change over time. We will study language contact situations and use
neurolinguistic methods (EEG, fMRI combined with EEG) to examine the effects of
learning two different linguistic systems. Start¬ing point is the investigation
of segmental and suprasegmental phonological representations.
