University Libraries Promotion and Tenure Recognition

Lisa Reed Professor of French & Linguistics

Book Title: Control in Generative Grammar: Research Companion

Author: Idan Landau

Selection Statement:

Idan Landau’s Control in Generative Grammar is a critical survey of over five decades of research on control theory. It is my selection for the Promotion and Tenure Recognition Program because it not only served as a primary source of inspiration to me in the years immediately preceding my promotion to full professor, but it also continues to spur my research program today. This is an essential reading for anyone who interested in this fascinating aspect of linguistic theory.
