David Adger

David Adger is a Professor of Linguistics at Queen Mary University of London. He is primarily interested in the human capacity for syntax, the cognitive system that underlies the patterns found in the grammar of human languages. The core questions are: what creates the patterns? how do they relate to meaning on the one hand, and sound, on the other? What governs the range of variation in the  patterns? Answering these questions allows us to tackle the issue of what the nature of the syntactic system is.
