Language, space and action.

The Centre for Thinking and Language, the Centre for Neural and Adaptive
Systems and the Plymouth Institute of Neuroscience (University of Plymouth)
invite applications for a fully-funded PhD studentship (part-funded by the
EPSRC), commencing in September, 2002. The Department of Psychology and the
School of Computing were both given 5 ratings in the 2001 RAE exercise, and
the successful candidate will join an international team of researchers in
the Plymouth Institute of Neuroscience (which is a collaboration between
departments) examining the relationship between language and perception
from a multidisciplinary perspective.
Specifically, the candidate will undertake a project on the computational
modelling of a range of closed class terms, including spatial prepositions,
quantifiers, adverbs and adjectives, or will examine the role of action in
the representation of spatial terms.
Applicants should have, or expect to obtain, a good honours degree honours
degree in Psychology, Cognitive Science or Computing. The ideal candidate
