'Howard Lasnik' (born July 3, 1945) is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Maryland.
He studied at the Carnegie Institute of Technology (B.S., 1967), Harvard University (M.A., 1969) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Ph.D., 1972). He joined the faculty of the University of Connecticut in 1972, and took up his present post at University of Maryland in 2003.
He has been a prominent contributor to the syntax literature within a Chomskian framework, and is one of few linguists to have co-written articles with Chomsky.^[1][2] Describing himself as a "conservative", Lasnik says that he often finds himself "...trying to resurrect old analyses or maintain current analyses that are being supplanted." (p. 4) ^[3]
