【Speaker Introduction】：Howard Lasnik is Distinguished University Professor of Linguistics at the University of Maryland, where he has also held the title Distinguished Scholar Teacher. He has been a Distinguished University Professor at the University of Connecticut and a Fellow of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, and is a Fellow of the Linguistic Society of America. He has played a prominent role in syntactic theorizing in the Chomskian framework from the Extended Standard Theory, through Government-Binding Theory, to Minimalism. His main research areas are syntactic theory and the syntax-semantics interface. Alongside more foundational issues of language learnability and the formal properties of linguistic theories, among the specific topics he has worked on are phrase structure, anaphora, ellipsis, verbal morphology, Case, cyclicity, and locality constraints on movement. His publications include eight books and over 140 articles, and his presentations include 80 keynote/plenary lectures at conferences. He has supervised 60 completed Ph.D. dissertations, on morphology, on language acquisition, and, especially, on syntactic theory.
