Recenzii
"Sassoon's book is a cornerstone for future work on predicate gradability and typicality, and more generally for all future researches aiming to bridge the gap between semantics and psychology." – Luca Sbordone, Cambridge University, on: Linguist List
Notă biografică
Galit W. Sassoon (Ph.D., Tel-Aviv University) is senior lecturer at Bar Ilan University. She has a main interest in language and cognition, in particular formal semantics, the psycholinguistics of semantics and pragmatics, and the cognitive basis of semantic and pragmatic concepts. Her research stresses empirical approaches to evaluating the basis of formal semantic distinctions, concentrating on empirical work with large corpora, converged with experimental approaches, including, mainly, surveys of acceptability judgments.
