博士招生｜鲁汶大学2024年博士招生（语言学）

鲁汶大学，全称天主教鲁汶大学（UC），又称法语区鲁汶大学。为与坐落于荷兰语区的天主教鲁汶大学相区分，又称法语天主教鲁汶大学。它是比利时最顶尖的大学之一，欧洲顶尖高等学府，也是世界著名大学之一，也是西欧“低地国家最古老大学之一。1968年，因比利时荷兰语区和法语区矛盾激化，导致原鲁汶大学分裂。1970年，鲁汶大学正式分裂成两所大学：鲁汶大学 (荷语)（简称荷语鲁汶）与鲁汶大学 (法语)(简称法语鲁汶)。前者留在原址，后者绝大部分系迁往新建的校区。新建的地区被命名为Louvain-la-Neuve,翻译为英语为 New Louvain，翻译为中文为新鲁汶。而从原荷语区鲁汶搬离的院系保留了原有的校名Université catholique de Louvain（法语），英语为Catholic University of Louvain。由于长期以来在比利时的华人对法语的不了解，完全不理解Université catholique de Louvain 这个法语校名的意思，而就用地名翻译命名了法语区鲁汶大学为“新鲁汶大学”。

Job offer: PhD fellowship at the intersection of corpus linguistics, second language acquisition and language testing

The Centre for English Corpus Linguistics (CECL, UCLouvain, Belgium) has an opening for a PhD fellowship in linguistics.

Full-time (100%) PhD fellowship for one year, renewable (max. 4 years)

Start date: October 2024

The main objective of the PhD project will be to use the method of Comparative Judgment to explore whether the theoretical construct of ‘phraseological complexity’ (Paquot, 2019) is reflective of collective understandings of the linguistic phenomena we wish to measure with such a construct. The project will centre around two main objectives: 

(1) test empirically whether reliable human judgments of phraseological complexity are attainable (both at the level of multi-word units and at the text level); 

(2) explore the degree to which various automated measures of phraseological complexity align with human judgments of phraseological complexity, which is to be understood as our ‘gold standard’ to assess construct validity.
