Bio/Research
Bowers' main areas of interest are the syntax and semantics of natural language and the relationship between the two. He is particularly interested in the level of logical form and the extent to which representations at this level are determined by the principles of syntax. His recent work in syntax is concerned with functional categories and with the development of a minimalist approach to argument structure. Bowers is particularly interested in the syntax and semantics of predication and in the internal structure of nominals. He has done some work on metrics and maintains an interest in the relationship between linguistic theory and literature, particularly poetry.
