Research Areas Elly van Gelderen is a syntactician interested in language change. Her current work shows how regular syntactic change (grammaticalization) can be accounted for by (Minimalist) Economy Principles that help a child acquire a language and analyze it in a different way from previous generations. She is the author of six books, fifty or so articles/chapters, and has taught at ASU since 1995. Related interests are the evolution of language, biolinguistics, prescriptivism, authorship debates, and code switching. |
