Methodologically, our research centres around the computer-aided analysis of large text databases. Native speakers of English holding a degree in related subjects such as general linguistics or psycholinguistics are also welcome to apply. Candidates are expected to be able to carry out corpus analyses on a self- directed basis, as well as to engage in teamwork with the other members of the research project. Their research will concentrate very largely on those parts of the project dealing with identity effects and processing complexity.
Funding is limited to two years, with a probable extension of one additional year.
