PhD Research Studentship Repetition as a tool for probing children's
linguistic processing and knowledge
Department of Language & Communication Science

*School of Allied Health Sciences
Institute of Health Sciences*

Full time 3-year PhD Research Studentship

By combining academic excellence with professional relevance, The City
University London prepares 11,000 students for the world of work - 40 per
cent at postgraduate level, and 50 per cent from outside the UK. A strong
research culture enriches the learning experience and accounts for our
growing influence on the markets we serve.

Applications are invited for a PhD Research Studentship. The research will
investigate the effect of different linguistic properties - lexical,
prosodic, semantic, and syntactic - on repetition span. It has implications
for relations between language processing, knowledge and memory in typically
developing children and children with SLI. The project addresses
psycholinguistic questions, drawing equally on theories and skills in
psychology and linguistics.

This project will suit a Masters or BSc/BA graduate with a background in
speech and language therapy, psychology, or linguistics. The candidate
should have previous research or clinical experience in working with
children, and strong skills in logical and analytical thinking.
