Department of English

Applications are invited for an EPSRC-funded PhD studentship from
graduates with good Honours degrees in language or linguistics. In
addition, knowledge of corpus-linguistic approaches and text-based
computing would be relevant. The studentship is available for a 3-year
period, starting in October 1998, to work with the Unit in its
research.

The Research Unit's activities include the development and application
of automated systems in the fields of language description, NLP and
information technology, especially text retrieval. It is envisaged
that the studentship will focus on an aspect of current work on the
lexico-grammatical classification of rare new words, based on the
computer-aided observation of English text.

Candidates should have a relevant connection with the UK; further
advice may be found on the EPSRC Web-site: http://www.epsrc.ac.uk.

A CV detailing relevant experience and research interests should be
