Nina Haslinger is a postdoctoral researcher in the ERC project. Realizing Leibniz’s Dream: Child Languages as a Mirror of the Mind / Research Area 4 'Semantics & Pragmatics'.

Nina Haslinger is interested in the extent to which the range of meanings a given structure can express is influenced by contextual factors such as implicit questions, and in establishing grammatical constraints on these contextual effects. Her work aims to develop formally explicit models of context-dependency in natural language semantics and its limits, and to make use of cross-linguistic data to determine what the basic semantic building blocks within these models should look like. While most of her research has focused on plural expressions and nominal quantifiers, other topics she has worked on include attitude predicates, gradable predicates and grammatical theories of implicature.
