Linguistics: 2 PhD Researchers, Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands

Job Rank: 2 PhD Researchers

Specialty Areas: Historical Linguistics


Description:

2 PhD positions

Project 1: Syntactic innovation in early Modern English: the importance of

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
