Masoud Jasbi

Masoud Jasbi is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Davis, specializing in experimental and theoretical approaches to natural language semantics and pragmatics.

His research focuses on:

• Semantic and pragmatic interpretation of logical connectives (negation, conjunction, disjunction)
• Cross-linguistic studies across English, Persian, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, and Hungarian
• Language acquisition in child and adult populations
• Integration of generative linguistics with artificial intelligence
• Experimental methodologies for testing linguistic hypotheses

Recent publications demonstrate consistent emphasis on scalar implicature, context effects, and frequency-dependent processing, with increasing exploration of AI-linguistics intersections. His work bridges formal theory with empirical validation through experimental paradigms, examining how prior beliefs and contextual factors shape linguistic meaning across diverse populations.
