[Lingtyp] most important works in generative typology

[Martin Haspelmath]

I would also mention the work done at the University of Connecticut – 
Željko Bošković has supervised quite a few interesting typological 
dissertations over the last two decades:

For a recent example of Željko's work, see his 2025 article on multiple 
wh-fronting (in this LangSci volume: 
https://langsci-press.org/catalog/book/481).

There's also a very interesting programmatic paper by Željko, on 
"Formalism AND, not VS, functionalism", in which he says that the two 
approaches are more compatible than is often thought (published in 
Belgrade in 2022):

(I have some comments on his paper on my blog: 
https://dlc.hypotheses.org/2641).

Best,

Martin
