Research

I am interested in a couple of big topics:

Evolution of Logic. Human beings speak a language in which they can express reasoning. How did we evolve a language that contains logical operators?
Natural Language Semantics. All forms of negation in natural language can be adequately captured by a carefully placed "it is not the case that". Maybe this is true. Perhaps negation is more.

And many others:
