{{EngvarB|date=October 2017}}{{Use dmy dates|date=October 2017}}Hagit Borer {{post-nominals|country=GBR|FBA}} is a professor of linguistics at Queen Mary University of London.[1] Her research falls within the area of Generative Grammar. Her theoretical approach shifts the computational load from words to syntactic structure, and pursues the consequences of this shift in morphosyntax, in language acquisition, in the syntax-semantics interface, and in syntactic inter-language variation. She initiated the eXoSkeletal framework, which implements this idea. In July 2018 she was elected Fellow of the British Academy (FBA).[2]

Borer also is an activist for the rights of Palestinians in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.

Life and work

Hagit Borer was born in Israel. Disillusioned with the Israeli government and with Zionism, she left for the United States in 1977. She became an American citizen in 1992.[3]

Borer earned her PhD in linguistics in 1981 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she was a student of Noam Chomsky. She has held academic positions at University of California, Irvine and University of Massachusetts Amherst prior to her hire at the University of Southern California in 1997. In 2012 she moved to the UK to take a posiiton as a Professor of Linguistics at Queen Mary University of London. She is the author of several books in linguistics, including the three books which outline the workings of the eXoSkeletal Model in nominals, in event structure, and in morphology. [4]

Politics

Borer has been a member of various organizations and campaigns which advocate peace with justice in the Middle East, and which protest the Israeli occupation and Israeli violations of human rights[5].{{source?|date=July 2016}} She has lectured extensively and has written on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and on Palestinian solidarity activism.[6] .{{Citation needed|date=November 2012}}

Borer was a passenger on the vessel Audacity of Hope, a member of the 2011 Freedom Flotilla II which, sailing from Greece, attempted to break the Israeli Blockade of the Gaza Strip. Fellow passengers included Hedy Epstein and Alice Walker.[7] Before the voyage, the Los Angeles Times carried an op-ed by Borer in which she explained her motivation and wrote that "a society built on conquest and dispossession would have to dehumanize the conquered in order to continue to dispossess and oppress them" and "We wish to say to the Palestinians that, yes, there are people in Israel who know that any viable future for the Middle East must be based on a just peace – not the forced imposition spelled out by Netanyahu to Congress – or else we are all doomed."[3]

After the voyage, she stated that the Greek commandos who took the ship and forced it back to a Greek port "arrived with machine guns. It was quite scary. They seemed ready for a fight. The commandos looked threatening, they wore helmets and their faces were covered."[8]
