Research Areas

         Syntactic theory
         English syntax
         Language learnability
         Computational models of language acquisition and language change

Current Research Program

I am currently exploring the consequences of representing knowledge of language as the configuration of a dynamical system, and the relationship between complexity and explanation in grammatical theory. These are close related themes, and both have implications for linguistic theory, linguistic description, language change and variation, language acquisition, and language processing, some of which I am currently working through.
