Ray Jackendoff was Professor of Linguistics and Chair of the Linguistics Program at Brandeis University from the early 1970s to 2005. Beginning in the fall of 2005, he will be in the Cognitive Science center at Tufts University in Somerville, MA.
Jackendoff's research deals with the semantics of natural language, its bearing on the formal structure of cognition, and its lexical and syntactic expression. He has also done extensive research on the relationship between conscious awareness and the computational theory of mind, on syntactic theory, and, with Fred Lerdahl, on musical cognition.
