The Core and the Periphery
Data-Driven Perspectives on Syntax inspired by Ivan A. Sag
edited by Philip Hofmeister and Elisabeth Norcliffe
The Core and the Periphery is a collection of papers inspired by the
linguistics career of Ivan A. Sag (1949–2013), written to commemorate his
many contributions to the field. Sag was professor of linguistics at
Stanford University from 1979 to 2013; served as the director of the
Symbolic Systems Program from 2005 to 2009; authored, co-authored, or
edited fifteen volumes on linguistics; and was at the forefront of
non-transformational approaches to syntax. Reflecting the breadth of s
theoretical interests and approaches to linguistic problems, the papers
collected here tackle a range of grammar-related issues using corpora,
intuitions, and laboratory experiments. They are united by their use of
and commitment to rich datasets and share the perspective that the best
theories of grammar attempt to account for the full diversity and
complexity of language data.
Philip Hofmeister is a Lecturer in Psycholinguistics in the Dempartment of Language and Linguistics at the University of Essex. Elisabeth Capone is a Staff Scientist in the Language and Cognition Department of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen. Both received PhDs from the Department of Linguistics at Stanford University under the primary supervision of Ivan Sag.
