David E. Johnson

David E. Johnson (born December 21, 1946 in Princeton, New Jersey) is an American linguist. He is the co-inventor of arc pair grammar.

Work

Johnson is best known for his work on relational grammar, especially the development with Paul Postal in 1977 of arc pair grammar.[1]

In the late 1990s, Johnson and Shalom Lappin published the first detailed critiques of Noam Chomsky's Minimalist program.[2][3] This work was followed by a lively debate with proponents of minimalism on the scientific status of the program[4][5][6]

Johnson has an Erdős number of 4.
