PhD in Linguistics

Vyv Evans supervises PhD’s relating to his research focus on semantic representation, figurative language and abstract thought, conceptual structure and semantic compositionality. PhD study in the UK involves devising and pursuing an individual programme of research mentored by a supervisor. In order to work with Vyv first ensure that your proposed research project relates to his area(s) of research expertise and interests (see www.vyvevans.net). Feel free to get in touch to discuss an idea for doctoral-level research if you are unsure (v.evans AT bangor.ac.uk).

The stages involved in application are as follows:

1. Send Vyv (via email) an up-to-date CV, and a brief (e.g., 2-3 page) proposal detailing the research problem to be addressed, the theoretical framework to be employed, the data type you will be collecting/examining, details of hypotheses or research expectations, and an approximate research schedule.

2. If Vyv agrees to supervise the project, you may apply to Bangor University.

On-line application details are available here.

Note. An MA in Cognitive Linguistics (or equivalent) will normally be required as a pre-requisite for PhD supervision by Vyv.

Further information on the PhD programme is available here.
