PEOPLE
YOSEF GRODZINSKY
Principle Investigator
Yosef Grodzinsky is a Professor at ELSC and at the Department of cognitive Science at the Hebrew University. He is also a Visiting Professor at the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine (INM-1), forschungszentrum Jülich. He is interested in the neural bases, processing and acquisition of formal linguistic knowledge, which he studies in both health and brain disease. He is also interested in the neural bases of logic and reasoning. Current projects: assessment and treatment of acute aphasia subsequent to stroke; language in acute neurosurgery; the neural basis of negation, logical abilities in schizophrenia, the acquisition of pronominal reference, the processing of comparatives, quantification in aphasia.
ANDREAS HAIDA
Post-Doc
Andreas Haida's research interests concern the relation between language and logic. On the one hand, he investigates the linguistics and psychology of logical reasoning, viz. how the performance of logical reasoning is impeded by scalar inference computation and other non-logical inferential methods employed in sentence interpretation. On the other hand, he explores the logicality of language, viz. how logical properties of linguistic expressions determine their non-logical properties such as their grammaticality status and implied attitudes towards their content (e.g. speaker ignorance or agent indifference). Some of his recent works can be found on LingBuzz (
