In conjunction with our institutional partners, the Department of
Linguistics at Northwestern University invites applications for fully funded
(tuition + stipend) graduate fellowships in linguistics and
interdisciplinary research in language. Northwestern has a vibrant
community of researchers actively working on a wide variety of issues in
language structure and processing, utilizing a diverse range of methods and
populations.

Issues

- Structure of linguistic systems within and across levels:
Pragmatics, Semantics, Syntax, Morphology, Phonology, Phonetics
- Perception, production and acquisition of first and second languages

- Dynamics of language: diachronic change; experience-related
plasticity
- Language and music: Parallels and interactions

Methods

- Statistical modeling; probabilistic approaches to language structure
and processing
- Formal/mathematical theories of linguistic systems
- Experimental studies of language; psycholinguistics
- Acoustic phonetics; prosody and intonation
- Machine learning and natural language processing; corpus analysis
- Functional and structural neuroimaging; electrophysiology

Populations

- Mono- and multilingual
- Infant, young adult and elderly
- Acquired and developmental disorders
