PhD positions in Language Description and Documentation at the Research Centre for Linguistic Typology at La Trobe University

Institution/Organization: La Trobe University
Department: Research Centre for Linguistic Typology
Web Address: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/

Overview
The Research Centre for Linguistic Typology (RCLT) at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia (http://www.latrobe.edu.au/rclt) invites applications from suitably qualified students to enter its PhD program.
The RCLT is committed to comprehensively analysing the linguistic structures of languages that are endangered or have previously been little studied or are completely undescribed.

PhD candidates at the RCLT undertake extensive fieldwork on their chosen language. Following a period of academic preparation at the RCLT, students will take a fieldtrip of at least several months duration to the community where the language is spoken. Fieldwork methodology centres on the collection, transcription and analysis of texts, together with participant observation, and judicious grammatical elicitation in the language under description. RCLT students also aim at language documentation: recording a range of linguistic styles, and building a corpus of linguistic data that can be archived in international digital archives which are available to both specialist linguists and the speakers of the language.
