Current Studies in Linguistics T H E View from Building 20 Essays in Linguistics in Honor of Sylvain Bromberger edited by KENNETH HALE AND SAMUEL JAY KEYSER The View from Building 20 Essays in Linguistics in Honor of Sylvain Bromberger edited by Kenneth Hale and Samuel Jay Keyser These seven essays offered in tribute to MIT Philosophy Professor Sylvain Bromberger present some of the most exciting research being conducted today in linguistics. Although the essays vary greatly in subject and approach, each is informed by Bromberger’s ongoing inquiry into how we “come to know that there are things in the world that we don’t know.” Included in the book is the edited version of Noam Chomsky’s minimalist paper. Kenneth Hale is Professor in the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy and Samuel Jay Keyser is Associate Provost, both at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This book is included in the series Current Studies in Linguistics, edited by Samuel Jay Keyser.
