RESEARCH INTERESTS |
|
|
Semantics: primitives and composition of quantificational structures in natural languages, the semantics of degree constructions (comparatives, comparative quantifiers, superlatives), the mass/count distinction, plurality, partitivity and proportionality, modality. Syntax: DP-syntax, the syntax of degree-modification as well as non-intersective modification. Language Acquisition: acquisition of semantics, acquisition of number. Language Processing: On-line interpretation of quantification and degree constructions using a head mounted eye-tracking system. Neurolinguistics: electrophysiology of language (MEG), aphasia. |
