Helena Aparicio is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics at Cornell University's College of Arts and Sciences. Her research investigates the interplay between linguistic meaning, context, and cognition, using experimental and computational methods to explore semantics, pragmatics, and psycholinguistics. She examines how listeners derive inferences in real-time, with a focus on gradable adjectives, scalar implicatures, and context-sensitive expressions.
Her work integrates theoretical linguistics with cognitive science, employing eye-tracking and behavioral experiments to model language comprehension. Recent publications analyze contrastive inferences, LLM semantics, and faultless disagreement, advancing understanding of how linguistic forms map to meaning in diverse contexts.
