Research
- the grammar and
processing of quantification, plurality and comparison, e.g., relations
between quantifiers and adjectives of comparison like same and different, ontological vs.
evaluation pluralities, distributive vs. cumulative vs. collective
readings
- the semantics
and syntax of sentential negativity, in particular as reflected in the
semantics and syntax of polarity particles, n-words, downward entailing
items and question tags
- the
cross-linguistic semantics and syntax of various constructions, e.g., modified numerals, correlatives, pseudo-partitives
- anaphoric
and quantificational parallels between the
individual, temporal, modal and degree domains
- ways of
integrating different
semantic and pragmatic frameworks
- ways of integrating formal semantics, modern methods of data
analysis and cognitive models of learning and
processing semantic representations
- overarching
goal: establish and solidify connections between (i)
highly structured
formal
semantics theories and (ii)
modern methods of data analysis and cognitive models of learning and
processing rich abstract semantic representations
