Helge L¿drup
I am a professor of
general linguistics at the Department of Linguistics and Scandinavian
Studies, University
of Oslo. My field of research is the syntax of Norwegian and related
languages within generative grammar, especially Lexical Functional
Grammar.
For some time, I have been working on binding theory, possessives and
body part nouns, as can be seen from some of the papers on the list below. I have also
published on various aspects of the realization of argument structure
(including passivization, unaccusativity, existential sentences and
resultatives), auxiliary and light
verbs, and the syntax of clausal complementation (including the theory of
control and raising).
