Research Proposals for PhD in Linguistics

In the 'Research Proposal' section of the main application form, please include only 100 words outlining your topic, and upload a fuller research proposal as a separate document, in the 'supporting documents' section.

This proposal should be between 1500 and 2500 words in length , and should contain at least the following:

1. Title of proposed research project

This should allow the reader to place the research, at a glance, within an academic sub-field, as well as identifying the main issue to be addressed.  It should not be more than 20 words long.

2. Background

Outline the linguistic area in which you propose to conduct research.  Why is it important and interesting? What is the need for further research in this area? You should provide a context for your research.  Do this by referencing and briefly reviewing a number of key works in your chosen field, showing how your work is built on this prior research.

3. Research questions

You should give at least one overarching research question, plus a number of more specific sub-questions.  Make sure these questions all emerge from and are firmly grounded in the literature you have reviewed.  Ensure that these questions — particularly the specific sub-questions — are researchable; that is, they should not be too broad or too general.  You should also explain how these research questions can be considered original.

4. Data and data analysis

All projects will involve the collection of data of some kind.  In some cases, this will be based on native-speaker judgements.  Other projects will require experimental data, the use of existing or specially-created corpora, longitudinal observation, or sociolinguistic interviews - to name but a few data sources.  Will you be able to gain access to the data in the quantities required? Are there ethical concerns which need to be overcome? You should also be as specific as you can at this stage about the kinds of analysis you will perform.  What specific techniques will you use? What statistical analyses will you be performing (if any)? Mention any software you envisage using.

5. Fit with Departmental Research Interests

Before you formulate your proposal, you should look carefully through the Department of Language and Linguistic Science web pages to identify staff members who might be able to supervise your research.  You may mention the person or people by name.  You are also encouraged (though you are not obliged) to contact individual staff members to find out if they believe your ideas to be viable and if they would in principle be interested in supervising your project.

6. References

You should provide a list of the works you have referred to in your proposal. Don't list other works which may be relevant: this is to assure the reader that you have read and understood the literature you have cited.

Dissertation Proposal Information

Dissertation proposal guidelines, written proposal.

Each Ph.D. candidate must submit a written dissertation proposal (approximately 10-15 pages long), which must be approved by the candidate’s Reading Committee. The proposal should be written and submitted before the student undertakes the bulk of the dissertation research. It establishes the background, feasibility and interest of the proposed research, and it details the procedures for accomplishing it in a timely manner.

A dissertation proposal will clearly specify the leading research questions and hypotheses, the data relevant to answering those research questions, the theoretical framework and the methods of analysis. It will provide a brief literature review, elucidating the relationship of the proposed research to other current research, and a clear work plan. The proposal should also present and interpret progress to date if the research is already underway. Finally, it should briefly discuss any research costs involved and the anticipated sources of funding.

The written proposal is modeled on the project description for an NSF Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grant (DDRIG) in Linguistics. The project description is a major part of the full grant application, so the dissertation proposal can serve as a stepping stone towards a complete DDRIG application, if desired. For those who choose not to seek NSF funding, the proposal format will still be helpful for other types of fellowship and funding applications.

An example of a dissertation proposal that was also submitted for an NSF DDRIG:

• Scott Grimm NSF proposal   ( references )

Abstracts of successful NSF DDRIG proposals:

• NSF-awarded dissertation proposals

Proposal Meeting

After the approval of the written dissertation proposal, each student is required to meet with their reading committee plus one or more faculty members who are not members of the reading committee, who can provide a fresh perspective on the research. The purpose of the meeting is to provide the student with further guidance on how best to undertake the dissertation research and complete the dissertation in a timely matter. Topics to be discussed might include priorities among possible research avenues, the best formulation of the research questions and hypotheses, the design of experimental, corpus, or field studies, sources of research funding, and the preparation of grant applications.

For More Information

Further details about the dissertation proposal and the proposal meeting, including timeline for completion and the selection of additional faculty for the proposal meeting, can be found in the PhD Handbook available via the Resources for Graduate Students web page.

Guidelines for the Dissertation Proposal Document

Format of the exam paper.

The written proposal takes the form of a full research proposal using an established formatting style (APA, LSA; 12-point, Times New Roman).  The proposal is to be submitted in electronic format to committee members unless they explicitly request a hard copy.  The proposal, along with page limits, is as follows.

Abstract (1 page, double spaced)

The summary is a succinct presentation of the entire project.  Without headings, it should address the following areas:

• Background.
• Specific Aim(s), including research questions and/or hypotheses.
• Methods, including data sources and data collection procedures.
• Analysis, including coding and/or statistical procedures
• Significance, describing intellectual merit and broader implications

Research Proposal (no more than 25 pages, double-spaced, excluding references)

The research proposal is a detailed presentation of the problem, a review of the literature, the presentation of preliminary data analyses, and the description of the proposed project.  It should include the following sections, with headings.  Page limits are suggestive.

• Introduction (one paragraph). A brief articulation of the research topic (“This study will investigate…”) and the research questions to be addressed.
• Literature Review/Background (8-9 pages).  This is a review of the relevant literature.  As applicable, it should include a discussion and evaluation of competing or alternate theories, gaps in the literature, the strengths and limitations of particular analytic techniques, and promising directions for scholarship and practice.  The discussion should lead logically to demonstrate the importance of the overall research question(s) posed by the student.
• Preliminary Data/Data Analysis (4-5 pages).  If you have preliminary data,  then you can present the analysis of these data here.  Only data that speaks directly to your question, methods, or analytic techniques is appropriate.  Include details about the source of the data, information about data collection and preparation of the data for analysis (e.g. transcription and coding), description of interpretative or analytic methods, examples of the data, and summary of the results of the analysis. These analyses should show that you are familiar with the kind of data collection and analysis that you propose.
• Research Design (12-15 pages). This section should begin with a re-articulation of the research question(s) and/or hypotheses and a brief introduction to the design of the research (1/2 page).  However, it should not include information already presented in the literature review.  Rather, this section should present detailed information about the following:
• data sources and availability of these sources (e.g. corpora, media, human participants),
• data collection techniques (e.g. audio or audiovisual recording, interviews, structured tasks, use of archived data, etc),
• data preparation (e.g. transcription practices, spreadsheet management, etc),
• data analysis (e.g. coding schemes, interpretive methods, statistical tests, etc)
• a description of the range of expected results and implications.
• Timeline (1 page).  You should include a timeline that takes the form of a Gantt chart showing your estimated periods of data collection, data analysis, and dissertation write-up.
• Reference List.  No more than 35 references should be included.

A research proposal is a pre-written document which gives an overview of the research tactics. It gives a general idea of the objectives to be achieved and the ways and means to achieve it. Writing research proposal is however a challenging feat. Due to lack of clear guidance from any source, there are many substandard research proposals which are placed before evaluation committee. The researcher came across various people who had no clear understanding of the process and structure of research proposal or research design. This problem has led the researcher to develop a framework to guide the prospective researchers in framing their research design based on the following research questions.1) what is the procedure of writing the research proposal 2) what are the components of the research proposal.So, to give a clear picture about the problem the paper is divided into two parts I) Procedure of writing the research proposal II) Components of the research proposal. The procedure for writing the research proposal is discussed with regards to: 1) Identifying the problem 2) Deciding on the topic 3) Deciding the locale of study 4) Deciding on the data needs 5) Planning the source of data collection 6) Plotting down ways to collect data 7) Identifying methods for analyzing data collection 8) Establishing a basis for designing the Proposal. While the components of research proposal are discussed with regards to : 1) Cover page 2) Abstract 3) Keywords 4) Introduction 5) Review of literature 6) Statement of problem 7) Objectives of the study 8) Hypothesis of the study 9) Period of study 10) Methodology 11) Data analysis 12) Limitation of the study 13) Chapter framework 14) References 15) Appendices.

4. Other Requirements

LING6902 – Phonological Theory  ( Course Outline ) This course aims to introduce the development of phonological theory over the past half century and to provide a critical survey of the current issues in phonological research. Topics include segmental alternation, syllable structure, tone, stress, and prosodic effect in word formation. Students will gain a solid understanding of the characteristics of different phonological frameworks over the course of the development of phonological theory, and will learn how to analyze a variety of language data within different phonological frameworks.

LING6903 – Syntactic Theory This course provides students with a concise and critical introduction to the central issues and perennial problems in syntactic theory, with special focus on the Government and Binding Theory and the Minimalist Program. Through exercises, class discussions, and presentations, students will gain a solid understanding of the concepts and principles which have been of central significance in the recent development of syntactic theory. Whenever relevant, data from Mandarin and other languages will be used to motivate and instantiate the analyses that pertain to the central issues in syntactic theory.

LING6904 – Topics in Phonetics This course introduces major theories and research topics in phonetics. Issues in both speech production and perception will be introduced. Both segmental and suprasegmental aspects of speech sounds will be investigated. Emphasis will be placed on the acoustic nature of speech sounds. Phonetic interfaces with other sub-branches of linguistics will also be discussed. Students will gain a good understanding of the complex nature of speech communication.

LING6905 – Topics in Semantics   This course aims at exploring various semantic phenomena and examining the relation between meaning and structure in human languages. Emphasis will be given to current topics that are central to research in semantics. The discussion will also help students appreciate the relation between semantics and other sub-fields such as pragmatics, syntax and philosophy of language. The study of the related literature will help student develop the ability to carry out semantic analysis.

LING6920 – Topics in Language Acquisition This course focuses on current issues in language acquisition with a strong emphasis on the interface of theoretical analysis of linguistics phenomena and central research questions in studies of language acquisition. Selected topics from first language acquisition, bilingual acquisition, second language acquisition, and sign language acquisition will be covered. Data from different languages will be used for illustration. Empirical coverage that extends beyond one language is essential. Topics vary from year to year.

LING6940 – Linguistics Research Seminars This course aims to engage students in the Department’s Linguistics Research Seminars and in-house research activities. These activities will deepen students’ knowledge of various fields of specialization, and help prepare them for their future academic and professional careers.

LING6941 – Proseminars in Linguistics I This course aims to broaden students’ horizon in linguistic research by bringing in focused, teacher-led discussions on selected contemporary linguistics issues. The topics of discussion vary from course to course each term/year, depending on student interest and availability of expertise.

LING6942 – Proseminars in Linguistics II This course aims to broaden students’ horizon in linguistic research by bringing in focused, teacher-led discussions on selected contemporary linguistics issues. The topics of discussion vary from course to course each term/year, depending on student interest and availability of expertise.

LING6951 – Topics in Bilingualism & Bilingual Acquisition This course explores current topics in bilingualism and bilingual acquisition from both theoretical and methodological perspectives. Issues at the interface of bilingualism and language acquisition in bilingual and multilingual contexts will be addressed. The emphasis of the course will be on individual bilingualism: how do children acquire, process and represent two or more languages in early childhood? What is the relationship between language and cognitive development in bilingual children? Central questions in bilingual acquisition and methodological issues in investigating bilingual infants and children will be discussed. The development of bilingual and trilingual children in Hong Kong and overseas communities will be the focus of our discussion. Issues regarding how heritage speakers in North America and UK develop their heritage language and undergo language shift will also be discussed.

LING6952 – Topics in Sign Linguistics Linguistic inquiry into sign language structure reveals universal principles of linguistic organization shared by sign languages and spoken languages, in phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics. Additionally, similar processes of language acquisition are observed when children acquire sign language in monolingual and bilingual contexts. Yet, differences in modality of communication, auditory versus visual, pose challenges to researchers in their attempts to account for the role of space and gesture in the organization of sign language grammar and language acquisition. This introductory course aims to address these issues.

LING6953 – Topics in Neurolinguistics & Psycholinguistics This course introduces students to selected topics concerning neurobiology of language as well as language representation, processing and production. Major theoretical debates and contemporary issues that address different aspects of language will be discussed. The selected topics vary from term to term, but may include syntactic and phonological priming as evidence for language representation, computational modeling of language phenomena, neural correlates of first and second language acquisition, explanatory neurolinguistics, comparative studies of language processing, models of speech production, lexical tone processing, cross-modal studies of language processing, and the bilingual brain.

LING6960 – Independent Study With permission of the instructor, a student may pursue an in-depth study of a topic related to his/her research in consultation with and under the supervision of the instructor. The topic and content of the course will be individually determined.

LING6970 – Special Topics in Linguistics  ( Course Outline ) From time to time, a course focusing on a specific area of linguistics or applied linguistic research that is not covered in the regular linguistic programme may be offered. Students are allowed to take this course more than once (but not within the same term), and gain the units each time they pass the course. However, students cannot take the same topic twice.

LING6971 – Special Topics in Experimental Methods This course is a continuation of LING 6980 (Research Methodology). Selected experimental methods will be discussed in depth. Students will learn about the mechanics of the methods as well as how they can be used to address theoretical issues in linguistics. Topics may include EEG, fMRI, eye-tracking, advanced behavioral methods and data analytics and computational mathematics. Students will learn hands-on techniques and will complete a research project using the methods introduced.

LING6980 – Research Methodology  ( Course Outline ) The course adopts an interactive, problem-based approach, with an aim to training students in conducting linguistics research on a topic of their interest. Focus will be on linguistic analysis and empirical methods in language research. Students may be required to conduct linguistic research through field trips.

LING6981 – Technologies in Linguistic Research I This course is a continuation of LING 6980 (Research Methodology).  Students will learn selected research techniques in contemporary research in linguistics.  Topics may include EEG, fMRI, eye-tracking, advanced behavioral methods and data analytics and computational mathematics. Students will learn hands-on techniques and will complete a research project using the methods introduced.

Pre-requisite Course: LING6980

LING6982 – Topics in Statistics Students will learn selected statistical techniques in contemporary research in linguistics. Topics may include multiple regression, discriminant analysis, and linear mixed-effects model.

LING6983 – Technologies in Linguistic Research II This course is a continuation of LING 6980 (Research Methodology). Students will learn selected techonologies in contemporary linguistic research. Topics may include EEG, fMRI, eye-tracking, advanced behavioral methods and data analytics and computational mathematics. Students will learn hands-on techniques and will complete a research project using the methods introduced. Pre-requisite Course: LING6980.

LING6984 – Quantitative Methods in Language Research This course presents an introduction to research designs and data analyses that are commonly used in nexperimental linguistic research. The course will emphasize on practical skills in data handling and analyses, in particularly using R. The course first introduces students to experimental designs as a prerequisite to statistics. Then it progresses from data distribution and descriptive statistics to gradually more complicated statistical techniques that are commonly used to analyze linguistic data (e.g., correlation, t-test, nonparametric tests, ANOVA, regression). With a focus on both conceptual understanding and practical skills in statistics, the course offers both lectures and also practical sessions where students have hands-on experience using R to analyze actual language data.

LING8003/ LING8006/ LING8012 – Thesis Research Supervisors will meet with students on a regular basis to give advice on all matters related to the preparation of thesis proposals, the conducting of the research, and the writing of the thesis. Students will work toward a set of research targets upon consultation with their supervisors.
