Farrell Ackerman

UC San Diego - Professor of Linguistics and Director of the Human Developmental Sciences Program

Ackerman’s research focuses on a broad range of issues concerning the relation between lexical semantics, morphology, and syntax. He is concerned with cross-linguistic and typological matters in these domains, especially within the Uralic family. Following up on research from his book with Webelhuth Ackerman is exploring ways of revitalizing Word & Paradigm (alternatively, pattern-based inferential-realizational) models of morphology.
