Exploring Nanosyntax

Auteur
Lena Baunaz is a postdoctoral assistant at the University of Zurich. She holds a PhD from the University of Geneva, which she published as The Grammar of French Quantification (Springer, 2011). Her recent research interests include the nano-syntax of the subjunctive mood, complementizers, and ontological categories. She has published in Probus, Studia Linguistica and others. Liliane Haegeman was professor of English Linguistics at the University of Geneva (Switzerland) from 1984-1999. Between 2000 and 2009 she was full professor of English linguistics at the University of Lille III. Since 2009 she has held a research position at Ghent University.

She wrote her PhD on the nanosyntax of negative markers under the supervision of Prof. Liliane Haegeman. She is currently working on the fine-grained morpho-syntax of Quantity-words (many/much; few/little), adjectives, degree comparison, and negation. Eric Lander is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Gothenburg, currently working on negation in the history of Scandinavian. His research interests include Germanic philology, the NP/DP parameter, demonstratives, complementizers, and ontological categories. He has earned degrees from Harvard, Leuven, and Ghent.
