LACITO: The candidate may be attached to LACITO (“Languages and Civilizations with an Oral Tradition”), a multi-disciplinary mixed research unit devoted to the study of languages and language practices in all their diversity, based on field surveys. Their research will focus on social and linguistic phenomena in contemporary Korean society.

LACITO has three non-exclusive lines of research, and the same person may work in one or other of them, depending on the project. These three research axes are 1. description and corpus, 2. Typology and historical linguistics, and 3. Linguistic anthropology. The professor recruited for the Contemporary Korean Social Sciences position will be able to develop their research more specifically in this third area.  Based on a pragmatic and semiotic approach to language and non-language events, current research deals with issues of power, expressions of identity and the performativity of the verbal arts. 

The professor recruited will be encouraged to participate in the laboratory's activities and to be a driving force behind the renewal of collective projects.
