PhD position on Learning Language through Dialogue

The Tilburg center for Cognition and Communication (TiCC) invites applications for a PhD position for the project "Learning Language through Dialogue". The goal of the project is to study the influence of communicative interaction on language development, and to investigate how linguistic constructions are acquired through conversation. This will be pursued by applying a multi-disciplinary approach that combines analyzing child-adult interaction data and developing computational models that simulate the process of construction learning through interaction.

Application deadline: 30 August 2016. You can apply for this position here.
