From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ray C. Dougherty is an American linguist and a member of the Arts and Science faculty at New York University. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees in engineering from Dartmouth College in the early 1960s and his Ph. D in linguistics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1968. At MIT, Dougherty was one of the first students of Noam Chomsky, working in the field of transformational grammar. Specializing in computational linguistics, Dougherty published numerous books and articles on the subject. He is especially known for his work in English generative grammar in Prolog.
In recent years, Dougherty has become involved in biolinguistics, especially focusing on the role of the cochlea in the evolution of animal communication systems.
