Participates in 3 items
I am a full professor of linguistics at the University of Quebec at Montreal. I possess habilitations to advise doctoral theses in linguistics and in cognitive informatics. My primary areas of interest are forensic linguistics, semantics and pragmatics, from both theoretical and experimental perspectives. In particular, I am interested in the typology of meaning and what differentiates various meaning categories such as presuppositions, implicatures, intonational meanings and social meanings. I am also interested in the compositionality of natural language and how we might model challenging constructions such as comparative correlative sentences.
