PhD scholarship in Historical Linguistics (of English) | Collaboration between University of Antwerp & Leiden University

May 21, 2021

The University of Antwerp (Prof. Dr. Peter Petré) and Leiden University (Dr. Lauren Fonteyn) are looking for a full-time doctoral scholarship holder in the field of historical linguistics (of English) for an FWO-funded project entitled ‘Complexity in complementation: understanding long-term change in verb complementation in terms of inter- and intra-individual variation’. The project consists of an innovative data-oriented examination of stable variation in the English complementation system from about 1700 to the early 20th century (e.g. I remember a detective coming in vs. that a detective came in). The focus is on cognitive mechanisms motivating complementation choices that are different between individuals and therefore cannot easily be averaged over, yet may feed into long-term communal change. More information can be found here.

Additional Information

The full vacancy text, including instruction for application, can be found at the University of Antwerp’s vacancies website. If you have any questions about the PhD position itself, please contact Prof. Dr. Peter Petré, who is the project supervisor (peter.petre@uantwerpen.be; +32 3 265 40 12).

Deadline

You can apply for this vacancy through the University of Antwerp’s online job application platform up to and including 12 July 2021 (by midnight Brussels time).

Scientific mission of LOT

The aim of LOT is to create a scientific community in which this research can be optimally pursued, and to educate the next generation of researchers with an open mind toward new disciplinary and interdisciplinary developments, theoretical and methodological alternatives, and possible applications.

LOT stimulates new initiatives and developments in research, and provides a national forum to further communication between the participating institutes with a view to short- and long-term collaboration.

LOT School Series

LOT was officially established in June 1994 by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. The LOT school series soon acquired an international reputation as a result of inviting well-known linguists to teach at the schools.

The research by the LOT institutes covers all major areas of linguistics, and exploits a wide range of methodological tools and theoretical frameworks.
