**Job requirements and responsibilities**:
Ellipsis Redundancy” (Principal investigators: Ingo Reich, Heiner Drenhaus and Robin Lemke). The project is part of

Saarland University’s Collaborative Research Center 1102 "Information Density and Linguistic Encoding”, which

examines the extent to which Information Theory can contribute to a unifying model of language use, variation and

change. The postdoctoral researcher's tasks include the planning and conduction of experiments as well as the

statistical analysis and presentation of the experimental results.

Our project investigates why and under which circumstances speakers use ellipses in coordinations. Building on

information theoretical concepts, the project focuses on predictability effects driven by both linguistic and

extralinguistic context, interactions between speaker and hearer as well as memory limitations, which might

determine the choice between elliptical and non-elliptical utterances. To investigate the impact of these factors on

ellipsis production and comprehension, B3 uses self-paced reading, production and acceptability rating experiments
