معرفی
Boris Harizanov is an Associate Professor in the Department of Linguistics at Stanford University. His office is located at 103 Margaret Jacks Hall, Stanford, CA 94305-2150. He teaches various graduate and undergraduate courses in syntax, including seminars on the syntax-phonology interface, head movement, Slavic linguistics, and foundational syntactic theory.
Harizanov's research primarily focuses on the intersections of syntax, morphology, and prosody. His work examines how these components of language interact, with particular attention to head movement phenomena, the syntax-phonology interface, and Slavic languages (especially Bulgarian). He has made significant contributions to understanding how syntactic structures map to morphophonological representations, challenging traditional distinctions between head movement and phrasal movement.
His research reveals consistent patterns across diverse linguistic phenomena. Harizanov's publications demonstrate a cohesive research trajectory investigating the boundaries between syntactic operations and morphological processes. His work often centers on Slavic languages, particularly Bulgarian, to test theoretical claims about universal properties of human language. A recurring theme in his research is the examination of mismatches between syntactic representations and their phonological realizations.
Harizanov has collaborated extensively with Vera Gribanova and other linguists on numerous projects examining morphosyntactic phenomena across multiple languages including Bulgarian, Russian, Macedonian, Danish, and others. His collaborative work has been instrumental in developing new theoretical frameworks for understanding the syntax-morphology interface.
