Goals

The linguistic phenomena of temporal presuppositions and counterfactuals, situated on the boundary line between semantics and pragmatics, are studied. These phenomena are interesting since:

Research Partnership

This research started during my Master Thesis work, supervised by Marco Colombetti. After my degree, I have continued to work by myself on these issues. I am looking for collaboration: volunteers? (mizzaro@dimi.uniud.it)
