Dr. Yan Jiang is a Professor at SOAS University of London's School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics, specializing in Chinese linguistics with particular expertise in Mandarin and Shanghainese dialects. With a publication record spanning from 1998 to 2025, Jiang has established themselves as a leading scholar in the fields of pragmatics, semantics, and syntax of Chinese languages. Dr. Jiang's research interests center on the intricate relationship between form and meaning in Chinese languages. Their work explores sentence-final particles, counterfactual conditionals, rhetorical structures, and lexical meaning construction, with particular attention to how pragmatic context influences interpretation. Specializes in temporal semantics of sentence-final particles in Shanghainese Investigates the pragmatic functions of connectives and adverbs in Mandarin Chinese Examines counterfactual reasoning patterns across Chinese varieties Studies the rhetorical traditions in Chinese discourse Analysis of Dr. Jiang's publication record reveals a consistent trajectory from theoretical linguistics toward more applied and interdisciplinary work. While early publications focused on formal semantics and logical structures in Chinese, recent work has expanded into translation studies, discourse analysis, and educational applications of linguistic research. Their scholarship bridges traditional Chinese linguistic analysis with contemporary Western linguistic theory. Dr. Jiang has supervised multiple doctoral students including Li (2024), Xue (2023), Zhou (2023), and Wang (2021), whose theses address topics ranging from lexical meaning construction to tense and aspect in Shanghainese.

Chris Cummins is Professor of Experimental Pragmatics in the Department of Linguistics and English Language at the University of Edinburgh's School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences (PPLS). His academic career spans multiple institutions with significant contributions to experimental semantics and pragmatics research. His research interests focus on experimental semantics and pragmatics , particularly how speakers choose to use specific linguistic forms to communicate about quantity, and how hearers interpret these forms to make decisions in high-stakes contexts such as financial and medical interactions. He investigates how listeners infer additional features of situations, including speaker knowledge states and potential argumentative agendas, from linguistic utterances, and how this information influences decision-making processes. His work also explores speech act recognition and the production/comprehension of non-asserted content. Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong trend toward interdisciplinary research combining linguistic theory with practical applications in medical communication, particularly in emergency contexts like cardiac arrest resuscitation. His work increasingly examines how numerical expressions function argumentatively in social media and medical contexts, with growing attention to cross-linguistic and developmental perspectives on pragmatic reasoning. Professor Cummins has collaborated extensively with researchers including Gareth Clegg, Hannah Rohde, Holly Branigan, and Ernisa Marzuki on medical communication projects, and with Michael Franke, Alex Lorson, and others on experimental pragmatics research. He has received support for his work through research studentships and collaborative projects. Beyond his formal academic role, Cummins actively engages with the public through the Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas at the Edinburgh Fringe (discussing topics like misleading language and slurs in 2023-2024) and Bright Club Edinburgh. He previously co-presented the New Books in Language podcast series as part of the New Books Network.

Maija Nousiainen serves as Senior University Lecturer in the Department of Physics at the University of Helsinki, holding the Title of Docent in didactic physics awarded in 2017. Her institutional affiliation centers on physics teacher education and research within Finland's premier academic institution, with contact via maija.nousiainen@helsinki.fi and Finnish mobile/office lines. Her research program fundamentally investigates conceptual challenges in quantum physics education, particularly wave-particle duality and photon conceptualization among pre-service teachers. She pioneers argumentation analysis in physics pedagogy while bridging theoretical quantum frameworks with classroom practice through European collaborations. Current work emphasizes modernizing quantum optics instruction using contemporary physics perspectives to reshape teacher training curricula. Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal intensified focus on quantum optics conceptualization, photon model implementation in double-slit contexts, and argumentation structures in teacher education. These studies employ comparative European methodologies and qualitative analysis of written reports to address persistent conceptual barriers in quantum mechanics instruction.

Elena Guerzoni serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Linguistics at Boğaziçi University, where she advises MA and PhD students from her office in JF 305. Her academic foundation includes a Ph.D. in Linguistics from MIT (2003) and a Laurea in Philosophy from Università degli Studi di Milano (1997). Her educational background is reflected in her dual focus on formal linguistic theory and philosophical underpinnings of language. She has taught undergraduate courses including Introduction to Linguistics (Ling 101/111) and Semantics (Ling 305), alongside graduate seminars in Advanced Semantics (Ling 58C/V), Presupposition and Implicature (Ling 613), and Directed Readings in Linguistics (Ling 572/570/579). Guerzoni's research centers on the syntax-semantics-pragmatics interface, with pioneering work on negative polarity phenomena across languages. Her investigations into interrogative embedding predicates, presupposition projection in questions, and focus-sensitive particles like even have reshaped understanding of scalarity and exhaustivity. She examines how minimizer NPIs interact with question operators and why certain particles license negative polarity only in specific syntactic configurations. Analysis of her 13 publications (2000-2022) reveals consistent focus on negative polarity in interrogative contexts, with increasing attention to cross-linguistic variation and pragmatic strengthening mechanisms. Her work bridges formal theory with empirical data from Germanic, Romance, and Turkish, demonstrating how focus particles constrain interpretation in question-answer congruence. As an active contributor to linguistic discourse, she has delivered 15+ invited talks at institutions including MIT, UCLA, and Hebrew University, addressing topics like intervention effects in negative concord and the semantics of whether clauses. Her editorial work includes co-editing A Few from Building E39 (MIT Working Papers in Linguistics) and preparing You Can Ask Whatever You Want (Oxford University Press). No scientific awards are documented in the provided materials, though her publications appear in Q1 journals like Natural Language Semantics and Linguistics and Philosophy . She maintains active research through manuscripts on Turkish hani and Italian verb stress, continuing her investigation into the morphology-syntax-semantics interface.
