Enhancing comparability: modelling linguistic systems to advance typology

Posted on 12 May 2021

Research project in York has been awarded a Leverhulme International Fellowship

Prof. Dunstan Brown (Department of Language and Linguistic Science) has been awarded a Leverhulme International Fellowship for 2021-22 to support extended research visits to Australia and to the U.S., global conditions permitting, for his project 'Enhancing comparability: modelling linguistic systems to advance typology'.

The aim of the Leverhulme International Fellowship is to enable established researchers to develop new knowledge, skills and ideas in one or more research centres outside the UK. 

Prof. Brown’s project 'Enhancing comparability: modelling linguistic systems to advance typology' focuses on the application of new techniques and methods for modelling linguistic systems.

"I am very grateful to the Leverhulme Trust and very proud to be a holder of an international fellowship. I’m looking forward to engaging with colleagues in Australia and the US in the development of new ways of modelling linguistic systems in diverse range of languages." - Prof. Dunstan Brown, Dept.
