David E. Johnson

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]
