My work on syntax has mostly been within the formal framework of Lexical-Functional Grammar. Some of my work has focussed explicitly on theory-comparison, but for the most part I basically try to solve puzzles and understand how those puzzles fit into grammar more generally. Some of the papers listed here are probably better described as morphosyntax or syntax-semantics papers. Much of my work is collaborative.<\/p>\n
