Una Stojnic in Semantics Seminar

Una Stojnic will present her joint work on pronouns (with Matthew Stone and Ernie Lepore) in Daniel Altshuler’s seminar this week (Monday from 2:30 pm to 5:15 pm in N458). Here is a draft of the paper. Please don’t distribute it without permission.  There will be a reception (with some fruits, chocolates and beverages) after her talk.

Una is a Bersoff Assistant Professor/ Faculty Fellow in Philosophy at NYU, and a Research Fellow in philosophy at the School of Philosophy at the Australian National University. She mainly works in philosophy of language, formal semantics and pragmatics of natural languages and philosophical logic.

From her website: “My research aims at understanding and modeling language and linguistic communication. This situates my work within a network of traditional questions in philosophy of language, as well as within a set of empirical questions in linguistics and cognitive sciences. My most recent work concerns the interplay between context-change and context-sensitivity, and the way in which the mechanisms of information structure and discourse coherence affect the resolution of semantic ambiguities.”
