I recently learnt that Edward Witten, the world's best string theorist Wikipedia entry, wrote a paper on generative grammar, called

"Pronominalization: a handbook for secret agents",

as you can see from Google Search. Also see footnote 98 at this book.

Apparently it's an unpublished thesis from Brandeis University. Is there a way to get a copy of it?

  • This is not an appropriate question for this site. Nevertheless, I did some searching and found that it's not available thru the Brandeis library (including theses and dissertations requests). I suggest you try contacting Edward Witten at the IAS (probably best to contact his departmental staff). And if you have success, see if he's willing to put it online somewhere! – Gaston Ümlaut Jun 18 '13 at 11:38

    Can't this be edited and re-opened as a reference request question? – Danger Fourpence Jun 19 '13 at 12:09

    This interest has piqued my curiosity. So far it does indeed seem difficult to find much information about Witten's linguistics work. I'm with @DangerFourpence in thinking the question can probably be salvaged as it's clearly about linguistics and not trivial to answer. – hippietrail Jun 19 '13 at 13:36
