Roundtable discussion on ‘Cumulative Doctoral Thesis (in Linguistics)’

The cumulative dissertation is becoming increasingly popular, also in linguistics departments. In some fields, however, the cumulative dissertation is either not envisaged at all or is still quite new and untested. As a result, there is a lack of practical knowledge or guidelines that can be passed on.

The research training group in the CRC 1412 ‘Register’ (MGK) is organizing a roundtable on the topic ‘Cumulative Doctoral Thesis (in Linguistics)’

Participating in the discussion will be (former) doctoral candidates and supervisors who already have experience with this dissertation format.

We invite all interested parties to participate – Whether you are a (prospective) doctoral candidate or (prospective) supervisor in a linguistic subject, whether you want to share experiences, ask questions or just listen. Just let the MGK coordinator know in advance so that I can get a good overview of the number of participants.

The main target group is supervisors and doctoral candidates at the HU in the subfields of linguistics, since some of the discussion will certainly be based on the guidelines of the Faculty of Language, Literature and Humanities at the Humboldt Universität. The general discussion of the cumulative dissertation could also be useful for doctoral candidates and supervisors at other institutions.
