MIT Press has just announced the publication of a monograph by our newest faculty colleague Elise Newman, entitled When Arguments Merge, in its Linguistic Inquiry Monographs series. The book presents “a novel theory of argument structure based on the order in which verbs and their arguments combine across a variety of languages and language families” — and has been praised as “refreshingly original and carefully argued”, “deeply thought through”, with “far-reaching theoretical and empirical consequences”. Congratulations, Elise!
