I am currently a Senior Research Associate at the University of East Anglia working on听听(PI: Eugen Fischer, Co-I: Paul Engelhardt). I am also an affiliated lecturer at the听听at the 海角社区, where I hold a BA/Leverhulme Small Research Grant for the project: 鈥溾.
I am a theoretical linguist investigating meaning in language. I investigate issues in semantics and its interfaces with syntax and pragmatics, as well as in language acquisition and bi- and multilingualism. In my post-doctoral research, I have been combining theoretical and experimental methods. I am also interested in philosophy of language.
My main area of research is generic generalisations (statements like 鈥楾igers have stripes鈥 and 鈥楢 cat lands on its feet鈥) drawing on data from mono- and bilingual adult and child populations (of Greek, English, German, Spanish and Catalan). Growing out of my research on generics both from a theoretical and an experimental perspective investigating generics across a wider range of languages has become the focus of my current research with the aim to provide the first systematic descriptive characterisation of generics both within and across language families via the use of a toolkit.
I have held teaching and research positions in the UK (海角社区, Queen Mary University of London, University College London, University of Greenwich), Germany (Humboldt-Universit盲t zu Berlin), Greece (University of Crete) and Spain (Universitat Pompeu Fabra).
My PhD dissertation (鈥楥ognitive science and language鈥 program at the Universitat Aut貌noma de Barcelona) analysed the notion of definiteness and the interplay of the definite article with other determiners and quantifiers in Greek. My supervisors were Louise McNally and Josep Maria Brucart.
I studied Greek Philology with a specialisation in Linguistics at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. I then received a DEA (MPhil equivalent) and a PhD in Cognitive Science and Language from the Universitat Aut貌noma de Barcelona completing an interdisciplinary program in philosophy, linguistics and psychology.
