Nina M. Hyams' primary research area is
grammatical development in first language
acquisition. She has worked on several aspects of
the early grammar of English and other languages
including the development of functional structure
and subjects, the acquisition of binding principles
(in Icelandic) and control, ergativity and auxiliary
selection in Romance. She is especially interested
in the relationship between linguistic theory and
language development, for example, the implications
of parameter theory for development, and also in the
interface between syntactic and semantic/pragmatic
development.
