Kinjal Joshi

I am currently working as a Speech and Language R&D Engineer at Cerence AI in Germany.  

I submitted my PhD at University of Oslo, titled A uniform account of agreement and information structure: A case study of Surati Gujarati.  I'm mainly interested in using my linguistic expertise to solve problems in computational linguistics, natural language processing/understanding/reasoning. 

My theoretical research interests are in the areas of verbal morphosyntax and syntax-prosody interface:

• Agreement and information structure in causative predicates in Surati Gujarati.

• Agreement on negation and contrastive focus

• Exhaustive movement and Exhaustive tone: a syntax-prosody interface study of Gujarati (With Sameer ud dowla Khan)

Outside of linguistics, I enjoy reading, traveling, and hiking, singing, watching movies in theaters, and playing Table tennis
