Dr Avery Andrews
Areas of expertise
- Linguistic Structures (Incl. Grammar, Phonology, Lexicon, Semantics) 200408
Research interests
Syntactic Theory, including descriptive and typological aspects. Mostly in the framework of Lexical-Functional Grammar, but with an eye to making this more compatable with Chomsky's 'Minimalist Program'.
Syntax-Semantics Interface (Glue semantics).
Natural Semantic Metalanguage, from the standpoint of connecting it better to formal syntax and semantics.
Biography
