The Collaborative Research Center (CRC or in German SFB) 1412 'Register: Language Users' Knowledge of Situational-Functional Variation' (http://sfb1412.hu-berlin.de) is a joint research project of the Humboldt-University Berlin (HU) and the Leibniz-Centre General Linguistics (ZAS). There are 17 sub-projects investigating intra-speaker variation driven by situational and functional factors at all levels of language, and focusing on the language user's register knowledge and its relation to other types of linguistic knowledge.
Within the Integrated Graduate School, we offer fellowships for Postgraduate Researchers who want to pursue or are already pursuing a Ph.D. relating to the research program of the CRC, or want to explore topics relating to the CRC within their Ph.D. research.
