Description:
Two 3-year postdoc positions in the ESF-funded project European Dialect
Syntax. The positions are available from the 1st of September 2005.
Project information: The goal of this project is twofold: (I) Setting up
and extending cooperation between dialect syntax projects in Europe,
yielding a European network of dialect syntacticians that use the same
standards with respect to methodology of data collection, data storage,
annotation, data retrieval and cartography; (II) Theoretical analysis of
syntactic doubling phenomena in European dialects (e.g. subject doubling,
Wh-word doubling, agreement doubling, auxiliary doubling, etc.). The
project builds on the standards, database and network developed in the
Dutch-Flemish project Syntactic Atlas of the Dutch Dialects (2000-2004; for
more information: http://www.meertens.nl/projecten/sand/sandeng.html).
Postdoc 1 will be primarily concerned with the European Dialect Syntax
network. Postdoc 2 will be primarily concerned with the theoretical
analysis of doubling phenomena. In addition to the postdocs, the research
team consists of the project leader (Sjef Barbiers), a research assistant
and a software developer.
