The View from Building 20

Essays in Linguistics in Honor of Sylvain Bromberger
Edited by Ken Hale and Samuel Jay Keyser

Overview

These seven original essays commissioned in tribute to MIT Philosophy Professor Sylvain Bromberger present some of the most exciting research being conducted today in linguistics. Each essay is informed by Bromberger's ongoing inquiry into how we "come to know that there are things in the world that we don't know." Included in the collection is the edited version of Noam Chomsky's minimalist paper.
