Charlotte Sant

Job description

I am a PhD Candidate in Theoretical Linguistics at CASTLFish at the Department of Language and Culture. I am interested in the interface between syntax and semantics, i.e. how words, phrases and sentences work and how meaning is composed in natural languages, with a main focus on English and Scandinavian languages. My project is about the relationship between semantics and pragmatics, especially in cases of event semantics and countability.

I have an MA in Comparative Syntax and Semantics from the University of York, and a BA in English Language and Literature from NTNU.

I am a member of CASTLFish, Øy(e)Lab (at NTNU) and AcqVA (UiT & NTNU).
