Principal Investigator

Nadine Bade’s research focuses on experimental investigations of phenomena at the semantics-pragmatics interface. Her work addresses the question how different contextual and structural factors influence pragmatic inferences and reasoning. Her research mostly uses methods from psychology to study pragmatic meaning in a variety of languages, including but not limited to mouse- and eye-tracking, reaction time as well as rating studies. Before starting her project “Pragmatic reasoning with (non-)visual alternatives” in ViCom she was working in different interdisciplinary projects at the University of Potsdam, École Normale Supérierure in Paris and the University of Tübingen.
