Lars Hellan
With some background in philology and philosophy, he was brought up as an early-generation generative grammarian, with Norwegian as main field. Being theoretically first oriented towards Government-Binding theory and Montague Grammar, he later - late 90ies - moved more towards constraint-based frameworks such as HPSG, and got interested in computational grammar implementation. Since early 90ies he has also been interested in typologically oriented research.
