Sol Lago is an Associate Professor at Goethe University Frankfurt within the Institute for Romance Languages and Literature. Her research focuses on sentence comprehension in first and second language speakers, particularly investigating cognitive processes in multilingual contexts. She leads the Romance Lab, studying Romance languages (Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian) through behavioral, eye-tracking, and neurophysiological methods. She holds a Ph.D. in Linguistics from the University of Maryland (2014) and a B.A. in Literature and Linguistics from the University of Buenos Aires (2009). Her research interests include psycholinguistics, second language processing, and multilingualism. Key projects involve the AGREE project on agreement processing, the collaborative CRC NegLaB studying negation, and experimental work on possessive pronouns and clitic doubling. Recent methodologies include EEG and computational modeling using Large Language Models and virtual reality. Her publications reflect a focus on syntactic processing, agreement attraction, and bilingualism. Collaborations with researchers like Shravan Vasishth and João Veríssimo strengthen her interdisciplinary approach. Current initiatives aim to enhance language learning pedagogy through experimental findings.

Clemens Steiner-Mayr is Professor of Semantics and Pragmatics at the University of Göttingen's Department of English Philology, where he has been teaching since 2017. His office is located in Käte-Hamburger-Weg 3 (Room 0.252), and he can be contacted via phone (+49 551 39-27576) or email. Office hours are by appointment. Education includes a Mag. phil. in General Linguistics and Russian from the University of Vienna (2005), a Ph.D. in Theoretical Linguistics from Harvard University (2010), and Habilitation from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (2017). Research focuses on formal semantics and pragmatics, with emphasis on quantifier interpretation, question embedding, intervention effects, and semantic-pragmatic interfaces. Key projects include PI roles in Semantic constraints on interrogative embedding (ZAS Berlin, 2016-present), Questions and entailment (ZAS Berlin, 2013-2016), and the Emmy Noether Group Interpretation of quantifiers (ZAS Berlin, 2010-2012). Publications primarily explore semantics of questions, negation, quantification, and context dependence. Recent work (2016-2024) demonstrates consistent focus on formal analysis of interrogatives, exception phrases, and intervention phenomena using trivalent logic and cross-linguistic data. No awards or student advisees are documented. Professional history includes a visiting position at the University of Potsdam (2012).
