Frederick Newmeyer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frederick Newmeyer (born January 30, 1944) is Howard and Frances Nostrand Professor of Linguistics at the University of Washington. He is best known for his work on the history of generative syntax[1] and for his arguments that linguistic formalism (i.e. generative grammar) and linguistic functionalism are not incompatible, but rather complementary.[2] In 2002, he was President of the Linguistic Society of America. In 2006, he retired from University of Washington and moved to Vancouver.
