    Research positions in Berlin

    At ZAS Berlin (Center of General Linguistics, Typology & Universals Research) two positions are expected to become available for qualified semanticians to join already established projects.

    Start: 1.1.1998 Duration: 2 years in the first instance PhD required. Knowledge of German useful but not essential. Salary: ca. DEM 3.000 pcm netto (depending on age, marital status, no. of children etc.) Please note: both positions are subject to final approval, expected Oct. 1997.

    Interested persons are invited to send application documents - c.v., publication list, statement of research interests, names (+ address/phone/fax/email) of 2 referees - by 31. October 1997 to:

    Prof. Dr. Ewald Lang ZAS Jaegerstr. 10/11 D-10117 Berlin, Germany

    (1) Project 3 "Noncanonical complementation"

    The project investigates the syntax of relative clauses and related constructions within the current generative framework. A qualified semantician with a close interest in the syntax- semantics interface is sought. Research topics include (i) reconstruction effects in relative clauses, clefts, pseudoclefts (ii) degree ('amount') relatives and comparatives

    (2) Project 5 "Predicative constructions"

    The project deals with lexical semantics and interfaces with morpho-syntax, focussing on predicative constructions with copula verbs including 'remain/become' in different languages. A qualified semantician trained in representational formalisms and primarily interested in the interface between syntax, semantics and the lexicon is sought.
