Eszter Ronai

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics at Northwestern University, where I direct the Experimental Meaning Group. I hold a PhD in Linguistics from the University of Chicago and a BA in Linguistics from the University of Cambridge.

My primary research interests are in psycholinguistics and experimental semantics-pragmatics, largely focusing on the comprehension and processing of non-literal meaning such as scalar implicature. I am also interested in the role of discourse context in pragmatics, as well as in adjectival semantics, information structure, and intonational meaning.

I have an additional body of research in syntactic processing, with special focus on cross-linguistic investigations and in particular the unique linguistic properties of Hungarian.
