A Companion to Chomsky

Tanja Kupischis a Professor of Linguistics at the University of Konstanz and Adjunct Professor at UiT, The Arctic University of Norway. Her research is primarily concerned with early bilingualism during childhood and adulthood, and especially the development of migrant and indigenous languages. Research domains include phonology and syntax. Current projects include ethnic policies and the acquisition of rhetorical questions.

Dave Kushis an Assistant Professor of Psycholinguistics at the University of Toronto and an Adjunct Professor at NTNU, Norwegian University of Science and Technology. His research interests sit at the intersection of psycholinguistics and syntactic theory.

Joseph Levineis a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Prof. Levine specializes in philosophy of mind, particularly the problem of consciousness. He has published one monograph, Purple Haze: The Puzzle of Consciousness , one edited collection, Quality and Content: Essays on Consciousness, Representation, and Modality , and many articles, including ‘Materialism and Qualia: The Explanatory Gap.’

Diane Lillo‐Martinis a Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor of linguistics at the University of Connecticut, and a Senior Research Scientist at Haskins Laboratories. Her research interests include the acquisition of American Sign Language by deaf and hearing children in monolingual and bimodal bilingual contexts, and how analyses of the grammatical structure of ASL contribute to understanding linguistic universals.

Terje Lohndalis a Professor of English Linguistics at NTNU, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, and Adjunct Professor at UiT, The Arctic University of Norway. His main areas of research are comparative grammar, including research on multilingualism, and the history of generative linguistics.

Eloi Puig‐Mayencoholds a Lecturer Position at King's College London. His research focuses on bi‐/multilingualism during the lifespan. Specifically, he is interested in how previously acquired languages affect the initial stages and subsequent development of additive sequential multilingualism in childhood and adulthood.

Gereon Mülleris a Professor of General Linguistics at Universität Leipzig. His main research interest is grammatical theory, with a special focus on syntax and morphology. An underlying assumption that guides his research is that both these systems are organized derivationally, with Chomsky's Strict Cycle Condition at the core.

Frederick J. Newmeyeris Professor Emeritus at the University of Washington and Adjunct Professor at the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University. He is the author or editor of 12 books, including Linguistic Theory in America , Language Form and Language Function , and Possible and Probable Languages . In 2002, Newmeyer was President of the Linguistic Society of America.

Lisa Pearlis a Professor of Language Science at the University of California, Irvine. Her primary interests are in language acquisition and quantitative approaches to language science, including computational developmental modeling. She has authored 47 scholarly publications on these topics and maintains a YouTube channel with videos discussing related research ideas and educational content.

Paul M. Pietroskiis a Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and a Member of the Center for Cognitive Science at Rutgers University. He is also Professor Emeritus in Linguistics and Philosophy at the University of Maryland. His most recent book is Conjoining Meanings: Semantics without Truth Values .

Anne Reboulis a Senior Researcher at the National Center for Research Science (CNRS) in France. She is the head of her laboratory, the Institute for Cognitive Science‐Marc Jeannerod, in Lyons. She is mainly interested in philosophy of language and pragmatics with a strong interest in language evolution. Her last book, Cognition and Communication in the Evolution of Language, was published by Oxford University Press in 2017.

Charles Reissis a Phonologist at Concordia University, Montreal, and a Founding Member of the Concordia Center for Cognitive Science. His publications include Phonology: A Formal Introduction (with semanticist Alan Bale); I‐language: An Introduction to Linguistics as Cognitive Science (with syntactician Dana Isac); and The Phonological Enterprise (with historical linguist Mark Hale).

Georges Reyis a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Maryland at College Park. He has written some sixty articles and a book, Contemporary Philosophy of Mind: a Contentiously Classical Approach, o n the foundations of cognitive science, and has just completed a new book for Oxford University Press, Representation of Language: Philosophical Issues in a Chomskyan Linguistics .

Joel Rogersis the Chomsky Professor of Law, Political Science, Public Affairs and Sociology, at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He also directs COWS, a national strategy center on “high‐road” development. This uses better democratic organization to reconcile, even in competitive markets, interest in fairness, sustainability, and public accountability by increasing the multifactor productivity of places and sharing its benefit. A widely published academic, he is also a long‐time social activist.

Jason Rothmanis Professor of Linguistics at UiT, the Arctic University of Norway and Adjunct Professor of Psycholinguistics at Universidad Nebrija (Madrid). At UiT, he directs the Psycholinguistics of Language Representation (PoLaR) lab and is deputy director of the AcqVA Aurora Centre. He primarily works on language acquisition and processing across the life span as well as language induced/associated links to neurocognition in various bilingual/ multilingual populations.

Peter Sellsis Professor of Linguistics at the University of York. His primary interests are in comparative syntactic theory and the relation between syntax and morphology.

Michelle Sheehanis Professor of Linguistics at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, UK. Her research is focused on comparative syntax, notably word order asymmetries, nonfinite embedding, and extraction restrictions. She has published in Linguistic Inquiry, Syntax, Journal of Linguistics, The Linguistic Review, Glossa, and with Oxford, Cambridge and MIT presses.

Roumyana Slabakovais Professor and Chair of Applied Linguistics at the University of Southampton and Adjunct Research Professor at NTNU Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim. She investigates the interfaces of form and meaning in the linguistic competence of adult second language learners, heritage speakers and multilinguals. Her book Second Language Acquisition was published by Oxford University Press in 2016.

Neil Smithwas Head of Linguistics at UCL for a third of a century until his retirement in 2006. He worked on West African languages, the acquisition of phonology, the savant syndrome, the thought of Noam Chomsky, and anything else that looked fun, from birdsong to bananas.

Sergio Miguel Pereira Soaresis a PhD Marie Curie Student from the MultiMIND network based at the Department of Linguistics at the University of Konstanz, Germany. His research agenda involves, among others, the neural systems underlying bi‐ and multilingualism and third language transfer. He is currently using neuroimaging methodologies combined with behavioral techniques to advance the field of multilingualism and to improve foreign language pedagogy.
