Milica Denić

I am a maître d'enseignement et de recherche (senior lecturer) in the Linguistics Department at the University of Geneva.

Before Geneva, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation at the University of Amsterdam, where I worked with Jakub Szymanik, and at Tel Aviv University, where I worked with Roni Katzir. My postdoctoral research at Tel Aviv University was funded by the Azrieli Foundation.  I hold a PhD in Cognitive Science from École Normale Supérieure in Paris, where I worked with Emmanuel Chemla and Benjamin Spector. 

 In my research, I integrate theoretical work, psycholinguistic experiments, and computational modeling to address questions at the intersection of semantics, pragmatics, and cognitive science. One line of my work explores the interface between language and reasoning, examining phenomena such as implicatures and polarity items. Another line of my work investigates the structure of semantic categories across languages, and cognitive and communicative biases that may shape them.
