Research Associate
Dr. Minyao Huang
Minyao's research interests lie in semantics, pragmatics, philosophy of language and cognitive science. She has worked on indexicality, the semantics/pragmatics interface, and vagueness, especially the manifestation of tolerance and indeterminacy in categorisation experiments. Currently she is working on self-reference from a cognitive and cross-linguistic perspective.
