6. Funded PhD Vacancy in Expressing time without verbs: non-verbal copula constructions in Southern Bantu and beyond

The project will answer questions about the use of the noun as a predicate in interaction and its underlying motivations and mechanisms in relation to other languages of the world. In doing so, it will contribute to the overarching question of what is possible in human language.
