Nominator's project description

Professor Booij is an internationally renowned linguist. He has made outstanding contributions to linguistic theory, especially in the fields of phonology and morphology. More recently he has focused on the analysis of morphological phenomena within the framework of Construction Grammar. Professor Booij developed what has become known as 'Construction Morphology' and he can certainly be seen as its most prominent proponent. During his stay in Germany, he will work on a project on Construction Grammar and diachronic morphology.
