Lisa Hofmann

Lisa Hofmann is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Stuttgart in the Department of English Linguistics, working with Judith Tonhauser’s group. Her research focuses on how humans interpret language meaning by integrating information from multiple sources, blending formal semantics, pragmatics, syntax, and psycholinguistics.

Her work addresses projective content (e.g., presupposition, anaphora, ellipsis) in counterfactual and hypothetical discourse, combining theoretical rigor with experimental methods. Recent projects include collaborations on at-issueness diagnostics and dynamic approaches to presupposition projection.

Lisa’s publications span topics like anaphoric accessibility in counterfactuals and the semantics of anaphora, with a focus on connecting theoretical frameworks to psycholinguistic evidence. She actively participates in workshops and conferences, such as XPRAG FEST 2025 and the workshop on (a)symmetries in presupposition projection.
