Dimitrios Skordos has received the competitive University Dissertation Fellows Award for the 2012-2013 year. Skordos' dissertation examines children’s understanding of a type of pragmatic inference called scalar implicature (SI) in order to shed light on important questions regarding the nature of early conversational inferences and the mechanisms used to generate them.
Dimitrios Skordos is advised by Dr. Anna Papafragou.
