Apologies to multiple recipients of this, and for a fairly long
message. There are two announcements below. The first is for MPhil/PhD
studentships and the second is for studentships for an MA by research.
In both cases, some of the possible areas are linguistics/English
language-related. Naturally, it would be great to receive applications
with an interest in relevance theory.
Best wishes,
Billy
