Adina Camelia Bleotu

Dr. Adina Camelia Bleotu is a Researcher at the Center for General Linguistics (ZAS Berlin), focusing on Semantics & Pragmatics within the project Experimental Game Theory and Scalar Implicatures. Her work investigates variation in contextual and scalar phenomena, particularly in child Romanian.

• Research Themes: Disjunction interpretation, scalar implicatures, epistemic adverbs, and experimental pragmatics in child language acquisition.
• Collaborations: Anton Benz, Lyn Tieu, Mara Panaitescu, Andreea Nicolae, Gabriela Bîlbîie.
• Conference Participation: Regular presenter at venues like Sinn und Bedeutung, Amsterdam Colloquium, and XPRAG.it, with a focus on experimental methodologies and cross-linguistic analysis.
• Publications: 15+ articles (2020–2025) on disjunction strategies, context-driven implicatures, and Romanian language structures.

Her research employs experimental designs (e.g., shadow-play paradigms, prosodic cues) to analyze how children acquire complex linguistic phenomena, challenging traditional views of disjunctions and necessity markers in formal linguistics.
