Eytan Zweig

Teaching and research interests

Main research interests are formal semantics and neurolinguistics. In semantics, he focuses on how different types of quantification interact with each other. His recent dissertation from New York University deals with disentangling the semantic and pragmatic contributions of noun plurality to sentence meaning. Recent work in neurolinguistics involves the use of neuroimaging techniques to further the understanding of morphological processing during reading.
