Research
Research
Müller's research focus is the empirical description of German and other Germanic languages and the theoretical modelling of these descriptive findings, the relation of this work to linguistic typology, and with the use of the Head-driven phrase structure grammar framework. Because of the implications that typological findings have for different analyses of languages and linguistic phenomena, the description and analysis of non-Germanic languages also feature prominently in the programme - Müller himself works with Mandarin, Danish, Maltese, and Persian.
