Tim Hunter

Professor Hunter researches formal syntax, computational linguistics, and cognitive modeling of language. Key areas include minimalist grammars, mild context-sensitivity, probabilistic models of language processing and acquisition, and the syntax of ellipsis.

Recent work explores computational approaches to syntactic variation, noise-tolerant learning models, and integrating grammatical theories into cognitive architectures. Teaches computational linguistics and syntax at undergraduate and graduate levels.

Education includes PhD from University of Maryland (2010) focusing on syntactic effects of conjunctivist semantics.
