C.T. James Huang (born 1948) is a Taiwanese/Chinese linguist. He is a Professor of Linguistics and Director of Graduate Studies at Harvard.
He received his B.A. and M.A. degrees from National Taiwan Normal University in 1971 and 1974, respectively, and a Ph.D. in linguistics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1982. He received the Linguistic Society of Taiwan's Lifetime Achievement award in 2014. In 2015, he was elected a Fellow of the Linguistic Society of America.[1][2]
Huang has published articles and books in both English in Mandarin Chinese within the generative grammar framework of linguistics, extensively on the structure of Mandarin Chinese grammar. His influence in the field is widely credited for "paving the way and leading the development of Chinese theoretical syntax"; "without his pioneering research [...] such a field would not exist in the rich way we presently know it".[3] In 2009, Huang collaborated with Y.-H. Audrey Li and Yafei Li to co-author a Cambridge Syntax Guide spanning the work of the past 25 years in theoretical Chinese syntax.[4] In 2015, Huang received a Festschrift comprising the work of 21 specialists in Chinese syntax, which is headlined by his own most recent publication on the subject of both synchronic and diachronic approaches to syntactic analyticity in Chinese parametric grammar.[5]
