Liliane Madeleine Victor Haegeman ARB (born 1 July 1954) is a Belgian professor of linguistics at Ghent University.[1][2] She received her PhD in English linguistics in 1981 from Ghent University,[2] and has written numerous books and journal articles thereafter. Haegeman is best known for her contributions to the English generative grammar, with her book Introduction to Government and Binding Theory (1991)[3] well established[by whom?] as the most authoritative introduction on the Principles and Parameters approach of generative linguistics.[4][failed verification] She is also acknowledged for her contributions to syntactic cartography, including works on the left periphery of Germanic languages,[5] negation and discourse particles,[6][7] and adverbial clauses.[8][9] As a native speaker of West Flemish, her research has also touched upon the comparative study of English and West Flemish in terms of the subject position and its relation to the clausal structure.[10]

Honors

[edit]

Haegeman was made a member of the Royal Academy of Science, Letters and Fine Arts of Belgium (ARB) in 1982 (Dutch: 'Koninklijke Academie voor Wetenschappen, Schone Kunsten en Letteren van België'), and was also made an external member of its Flemish counterpart, the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts (KVAB) in 1995. (Dutch: Koninklijke Vlaamse Academie van België voor Wetenschappen en Kunsten). In 2000, during her teaching period in the University of Geneva, she was made Professeur honoraire.[2]

Teaching

[edit]

Haegeman held full-time teaching positions between 1984 and 2009, focusing on domains of English and general linguistics, syntactic theory, comparative syntax, historical syntax and the syntax of Germanic languages.[2] In addition to her current position at Ghent University (2018), she has taught in University of Geneva (1984–1999) and Université Charles de Gaulle, Lille III (1999–present).[11]
