Danny Fox received his Ph.D. in 1998 from MIT. From 1998 to 2001, he was a junior fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows, and currently is Associate Professor in the Department of Linguistics & Philosophy at MIT. Among his publications are Economy and Semantic Interpretation (MIT Press) and “Antecedent Contained Deletion and the Copy Theory of Movement” (Linguistic Inquiry). He is interested in the way that structure relates to meaning, and his work has focused primarily on the syntax and semantics of quantifiers, ellipsis, and the nature of covert operations. More recently he has been working on issues relating to the semantics pragmatics interface as well as on and on a new model for the syntax phonology interface (with David Pesetsky).
