In this paper, we argue that embodiment can play an important role in the design and
modeling of systems developed for Human Computer Interaction. To this end, we describe a …

Davidsonian event semantics is often taken to form an unhappy marriage with compositional
semantics. For example, it has been claimed to be problematic for semantic accounts of …

In many languages, the same particles that form quantifier words also serve as connectives,
additive and scalar particles, question markers, roots of existential verbs, and so on. Do …

I argue that alternative-denoting expressions interact with their semantic context by taking
scope. With an empirical focus on indefinites in English, I show how this approach improves …

I motivate a new theory of exceptional scope phenomena in natural language—that is, the
ability of some expressions to affect the interpretation of others from inside scope islands. I …

I propose the first strictly compositional semantic account of same. New data, including
especially NP-internal uses such as two men with the same name, suggests that same in its …

This dissertation investigates a variety of issues on question semantics, especially the
interpretations of mention-some questions, multiple-wh questions, and questions with …

We provide Montague semantics with a notion of context that allows discourse dynamics to
be tackled. As an example, we consider the problem of intra-and intersentential pronominal …

We present a general theory of scope and binding in which both crossover and superiority
violations are ruled out by one key assumption: that natural language expressions are …

Computational semantics is the art and science of computing meaning in natural language.
The meaning of a sentence is derived from the meanings of the individual words in it, and …
