Along the way, Culicover provides an entertaining tour through many of the uncharted byways of the peripheral syntax of English and other languages. He grounds his approach in a careful analysis of language learnability, and in so doing urges both syntacticians and neuroscientists toward a more responsible rapprochement in dealing with the complexities of human language.
Peter W. Culicover is currently the Chair of the Department of Linguistics and Director of the Center for Cognitive Science at the Ohio State University.
