Generative grammar
Generative grammar describes and explains the structure of linguistic expressions in terms of a logical system designed so as to discriminate between the grammatical and ungrammatical combinations of a finite set of available items such as sounds, morphemes, words or phrases. Topics of interest at our university focus on the prosodic signatures of morphological operations, clausal subordination, agreement, secondary predication, non-transitional path expressions, lexical categories and information structure. This area closely interfaces and interacts with the research groups for formal semantics and pragmatics, and for experimental linguistics.
