Autorenporträt
Klaus von Heusinger, Dr. phil. (1992) and Habilitation (1999) at University of Konstanz, Germany, is Professor in German Linguistics at the University of Cologne. He approaches linguistic analysis from a theoretical as well as empirical point of view and focuses on the semantics and pragmatics of referring expressions in discourse. The application of logical methods to natural language has long been the key research program of Alice ter Meulen (Ph.D. Stanford, 1980). She has published extensively on a variety of topics in natural language semantics, including (in)definiteness, mass terms, aspect and temporal reference, generics and natural kinds, Montague grammar and Situation Semantics. The core research interests of Hans Kamp (off. Johan Anthony Willem Kamp, Ph.D. 1968 UCLA) have converged on the question how human beings represent meaning and how those representations enable them to various things with information, such as drawing inferences and making plans for action. Context dependence and vagueness of meaning, and the dynamic character of interpretation are at the core of his well-known account of meaning and interpretation Discourse Representation Theory.
