Research
Interests (follow the links for papers & presentations):
- Semantics and Pragmatics
- anaphoric
and quantificational parallels between the
individual, temporal, modal and degree domains
- e.g.:
parallels
between quantificational and modal subordination and between
correlative structures in the individual and degree
domains, interactions between discourse particles like therefore
and quantificational and modal subordination, singular
and plural donkey anaphora
- ways of integrating different
semantic and pragmatic frameworks
- e.g.:
various strands of Montagovian and dynamic semantics
- the
cross-linguistic semantics (and syntax) of various constructions
- e.g.:
measure expressions and nominal phrases containing them (in Romanian,
English etc.), uniqueness effects in donkey sentences
and Hindi,
Romanian etc. correlatives,
types of indefinites and their scopal behavior, attitude and speech act
reports etc.
