The   Department   of  Language   and Linguistics   has   two research
studentships  available for the period 1998-2001.  Both  cover fees at
UK/EU rates, the  first provides a full  bursary, the second a partial
bursary.
 
Fees and Bursary PhD studentship (3 years)
------------------------------------------

Applications are invited from students anywhere in the world to pursue
doctoral research for up to  three years.  UK/European Union rate fees
will be paid by  the University, and  students will receive a  bursary
from the department  at research council  rates. Non-UK/European Union
students  will be  liable for  the reminder  of  the fees (current fee
difference is UKL  3,770). The value  of the bursary is currently  UKL
5,295 (subject to review). Holders of the  bursary will be expected to
provide   up to 6   hours  of teaching per    week  or the  equivalent
(e.g. research assistant duties).

Fees-and-Part Bursary PhD studentship (3 years)
-----------------------------------------------

Applications are invited from students anywhere in the world to pursue
doctoral  research for up to  three years. UK/European Union rate fees
will be  paid by the  University, and students  will receive a bursary
from the department of UKL 1,000. Non- UK/European Union students will
be liable for the reminder of the fees (current  fee difference is UKL
3,770).


Students applying  for  either studentship  should have  a  good first
degree  (normally  at    least an  Upper   Second   Class  Honours  or
equivalent), and be willing to investigate a topic compatible with the
research priorities of the  department.  Applications are particularly
welcome in  the fields of  language acquisition theory (first/second),
syntax, computational   linguistics,  psycholinguistics, sociolinguis-
tics, phonology,   morphology.   However,  applicants  should not   be
discouraged from offering topics in other areas of linguistics.

Closing date: 31 March 1998

Applicants must have  already applied for, and  been offered  a normal
place for doctoral study in the department before this closing date.

The department is a major centre for  teaching and research in Theore-
tical   and  Applied Linguistics, with   leading   scholars in several
fields.
