Slavic departments, offering a fair approximation of the impressive

field include seminal intuitions in theoretical morphosyntax a s well as
empirical discoveries about the Slavic languages, especially from a
cross-Slavic perspective. Contributors to this volume include friends
and colleagues, students and former professors of his, and some of his
many collaborators in co-authored research and publications. Aside
from his research achievements, his career incorporated notable
support for the professional life of the Slavic and general linguistic
communities in the U.S. and worldwide, including the establishment
of the Journal of Slavic Linguistics in 1992 and the founding of the Slavic
Linguistics Society in 2004.
