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.

This is the website of Andrew Radford, a professor at the University of Essex. This site provides his personal information, downloadable papers, the list of his publication, and the glossary. In his personal information section, there are several categories which start from early childhood years to present time.

It seems very unusual as it has detailed explanations of those years with several pictures. Thus, people can immediately recognize how his life was and what he does right now. In the downloadable section, people can freely download several articles he wrote. People do not need special access to see his work which seems very generous to the visitors of his website. In the publication section, there is no direct link to his works (books and articles), but only the references. However, information given is enough for anyone to find his works. Another special aspect of this website is that it provides glossary on linguistics. Therefore, if anyone finds difficulty reading the articles of Radford, one can immediately refer to this glossary and find out the exact meaning.

This site is useful to those students who have interest in syntax, and also those who prepare to enter to the University of Essex.
