PhD Researcher Positions Radboud University Nijmegen The Netherlands
University or Organization: Radboud University Nijmegen
Department: CLS/English Language and Culture
Job Location: Nijmegen, Netherlands
Web Address: http://www.ru.nl/cls
Job Rank: 2 PhD Researchers
Specialty Areas: Historical Linguistics
Description:
2 PhD positions
Project 1: Syntactic innovation in early Modern English: the importance of
the subject as unmarked theme (reference number 23.13.08)
Project 2: Syntactic innovation in early Modern English: the position of
focus (reference number 23.14.08)
Deadline: 26-04-2008
Description:
These two PhD positions are part of a research project funded by the Dutch
organization for Scientific research (NWO), granted to PI’s Bettelou Los
and Ans van Kemenade. The title of the project is Syntax and Information
Structure: Discourse Options after the Loss of Verb-Second. It investigates
the changes in informational status of the first constituent in the early
Modern English period (ca. 1500-1700). Its hypothesis is that the loss of
the verb-second rule in late Middle English compromised the options for the
structuring of information in the clause, which led to the emergence of new
syntactic constructions. The first PhD position will focus on the rise of
new passive constructions (passive ECM, prepositional passives) while the
second PhD position will investigate the rise of cleft sentences and new
ways to express contrastive focus. The full project description can be
found at http://www.ru.nl/engels/wie_wat_waar/medewerkers/persoonlijk/los/
