This is the personal website of Cedric Boeckx, an assistant professor in the Department of Linguistics at Harvard University.

His research interests, publications, awards, and curriculum vitae are available. Also, his course titles and links to websites of institutions and programs to which he is giving service are also provided. A characteristic regarding the design of this website is that it is very bright and inviting. There are pictures of diverse objects, and also some of the scholar himself, on every page of the website that give the impression that the reader is rather strolling through a gallery of some sort rather than looking at the website of an academic scholar. Indeed, there is even a display of pictures of the covers of his books on the Publication page on this website, and not merely a simple list of their titles.

Readers who would like more information on Cedric Boeckx, or those who seek the titles and subjects of his publications and other works will find this website informative.
