MSCA Doctoral Network on "Spatial Communication and Ageing across Languages"
16 fully-funded PhD positions available in SCALASixteen PhD positions are available in the combined Marie Sklodowska-Curie-UKRI Doctoral Network “SCALA - Spatial Communication and Ageing across Languages”. SCALA will i) identify, catalogue, and understand the causal origins of spatial communication differences in the later lifespan across speakers of different languages and across varying spatial environments, and ii) develop technological systems for spatial communication that have the potential to improve quality of life for older adults.
Semantic Processing
The research at the Semantic Processing programme from Heidelberg University focuses on developing new models of semantic processing using statistical and corpus-based methods.
Cyclic Optimization
Cyclic Optimization researchers from the Institute of Linguistics at Leipzig University are investigating the empirical scope of models combining cyclicity and optimization, and hope to extend this to a comprehensive, representative subdomain of grammatical phenomena and unlock the full theoretical potential of these approaches.
International Experimental and Clinical Linguistics
The International Experimental and Clinical Linguistics program at University of Potsdam offers innovative instruction, combining linguistic knowledge with interdisciplinary research and an international orientation.
Interaction of Grammatical Building Blocks
The research of our doctoral students and postdocs in this Interaction of Grammatical Building Blocks programme at Leipzig University focuses on the interaction of rules, operations, constraints, schemes etc. in Phonology, Morphology and Syntax.
The Structure of Representations in Language, Cognition, and Science
How do we conceive of the world? What is the structure and composition of our concepts? How do we represent in our minds categories, individuals, relations, properties, events, or sentence meanings? The Structure of Representations in Language, Cognition, and Science at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf is a research centre that addresses such issues.
Dimensions of Constructional Space
The Dimensions of Constructional Space Research Training Group at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) will explore a relatively new paradigm in linguistics that has become known under the name of Construction Grammar (CxG).
