Stefan Müller (linguist)

Stefan Müller is a professor of linguistics at the Humboldt University of Berlin (German: Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) specializing in syntax, and head of the German Grammar group (German: Arbeitsgruppe Sprachwissenschaft des Deutschen: Syntax), whose research focus is the empirical description of German and other Germanic languages and the theoretical modelling of these descriptive findings, the relation of this work to linguistic typology, and with the use of the Head-driven phrase structure grammar framework. Because of the implications that typological findings have for different analyses of languages and linguistic phenomena, the description and analysis of non-Germanic languages also feature prominently in the programme - Müller himself works with Mandarin, Danish, Maltese, and Persian.[1][2][3][4][5]

gollark: Time to steal code from Artist!
gollark: Wait, my lazier method might actually be the cause of some odd behavior which might be a bug... to the IDE, once SC comes up for testing!
gollark: Also, it probably wouldn't inherit whatever magic slot-splitting behavior you have now.
gollark: 1. I'm lazy (though yes, admittedly, you probably are)2. It'd be slower to manually find the slot(s) with free space.
gollark: How about a table of slots moved into?
