Linguistics
Erik Zyman is a theoretical syntactician. He investigates the principles and fundamental operations that determine how the atoms of syntax can and cannot be combined to form larger structures; how those operations and atoms vary (and don’t vary) across languages; and where they come from. His work has been published in Natural Language and Linguistic Theory, among other venues. Zyman is a Postdoctoral Fellow and Instructor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Chicago.
