New paper out today! We ask whether people with Williams Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder with deficits in spatial and numerical cognition, master the meaning of quantifiers, numerals, and logical operators. We argue that their semantic representations are deep and abstract!

When people respond "two" to the question "How many animals did Moses take on the ark?" do they actually accommodate a false presupposition that Moses took animals on the ark? Apply for a Ph.D. position to work on presuppositions, deadline 20.12.2025. More info at linguistlist.org/issues/36-3553
