Research

My recent projects focus on presupposition projection, both from theoretical and experimental perspectives. I also have a more general interest in redundancy phenomena, where I've investigated cases like Hurford disjunctions/conditionals. Moreover, I have undertaken projects on the semantics pseudo-incorporation and the syntax of agreement in Western Armenian. 

Dissertation:

Kalomoiros, A. (2023). Presupposition and its (A-)symmetries. PhD Dissertation. University of Pennsylvania. [availabe here]

2024:

  • Presuppositions project asymmetrically, unless they don't. (with Matt Mandelkern, Jacopo Romoli, and Florian Schwarz). [To appear in the proceedings of Amsterdam Colloquium 2024 (link here)]

  • Presupposition projection from 'and' vs 'or': Experimental data and theoretical implications (with Florian Schwarz) [Published in the Journal of Semantics (link here)]

  • An approach to Hurford Conditionals [Published in the proceedings of SALT 33 (link here)]

  • Limited Symmetry [Published in LNCS (link here). Caveat lector: this paper dates to 2021. It was published in 2024 because of editorial delays. It's included here as it represents a concise summary of the ideas, but the formalism is superseded by the dissertation]
