Mike Putnam
Mike
is currently a PhD candidate in the department. He is also
pursuing an MA in the Linguistics Department at this time.
Although Mike's research interests include most subfields
of German Linguistics, he is particularly interested in the
syntactic structure of past and present West Germanic Languages.
In particular, Mike's research centers around the prosody-syntax
and semantic-syntax interfaces. His dissertation, Non-lexical
Triggers in West Germanic Scrambling, investigates the active
role of scopal and prosodic elements in syntactic operations.
Mike also serves as one of the principal investigators for
the LAKGD Project, and has a particular interest in Pennsylvania
German and Yiddish.
