Mike Putnam is Professor of German and Linguistics at Penn State University. He currently also serves as the Program Director of the Linguistics Program and as the Associate Director of the Center for Language Science. His research focuses on gaining a better understanding of the structural properties of grammar, with a primary empirical focus on Germanic languages past and present (especially in contact and multilingual contexts). His research combines theoretical models with experimental methods, in particular, morphological and lexical processing. His research group, Morphological Circle @ PSU, investigates issues related to the mental lexicon and the properties of 'words' in a modular view of the faculty of language.
