Judith Tonhauser is a Professor of English Linguistics at the University of Stuttgart.[1] From 2006 to 2020, she worked in the Linguistics department at The Ohio State University. She is known for her work in theoretical semantics and pragmatics, specifically on cross-linguistic semantic/pragmatic variation and on the Paraguayan Guarani language, a Tupí Guaraní language spoken in Paraguay and surrounding countries.
Education[]
Tonhauser received her Ph.D. in Linguistics from Stanford University in 2006. Her dissertation was titled The Temporal Semantics of Noun Phrases: Evidence from Guaraní.[2]
Career[]
Tonhauser's topics of interest include Presupposition projection, Prosody and Meaning, Temporal Anaphora and Reference, and empirical methods in Semantics and Pragmatics. She is also an Associate Editor of Semantics and Pragmatics, a journal of the Linguistic Society of America.[3]
Awards and honors[]
Tonhauser is the recipient of the 2016 Early Career Award from the Linguistic Society of America.[4][5] The award recognizes scholars early in their career who have made outstanding contributions to the field of linguistics.
Tonhauser's 2013 paper, "Toward a taxonomy of projective content," coauthored with David Beaver, Craige Roberts, and Mandy Simons won the 2013 Best Paper in Language (journal) Award from the Linguistic Society of America.[6] In 2013, she was awarded the Frederick Burkhardt Residential Fellowships for Recently Tenured Scholars for her project Content and Context in the Study of Meaning Variation.[7]
