Roberto G. de Almeida is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Concordia University, in Montreal. He received his PhD in Psychology and Cognitive Science at Rutgers University (under the supervision of Jerry Fodor). His theoretical and empirical work is on the nature of lexical concepts, in particular on verb meaning, and on the nature of semantic composition. He co-edited with Christina Manoulidou the volume Cognitive Science Perspectives on Verb Representation and Processing (2015). Lila R. Gleitman is an Emerita Professor in the Department of Psychology and the founding Director of the Institute for Research in Cognitive Science with A. Joshi at the University of Pennsylvania. She received her PhD in Linguistics from the University of Pennsylvania. Her research concerns the mental lexicon and the syntax-semantics interface, language acquisition, and the relation between language and thought.
