Nina M. Hyams' primary research area is grammatical development in first language acquisition. She has worked on several aspects of the early grammar of English and other languages including the development of functional structure and subjects, the acquisition of binding principles (in Icelandic) and control, ergativity and auxiliary selection in Romance. She is especially interested in the relationship between linguistic theory and language development, for example, the implications of parameter theory for development, and also in the interface between syntactic and semantic/pragmatic development.
