Eytan Zweig is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Language and Linguistic Science at the University of York, where he conducts research and teaches in formal semantics and neurolinguistics. He is affiliated with the Syntax and Semantics Research Group and the Psycholinguistics Research Group, and serves as Chair of the Ethics Committee and Careers and Skills Liaison Officer. BA in English, Literature and Linguistics – Hebrew University of Jerusalem (1998–2002) PhD in Linguistics – New York University (2002–2008) His research focuses on the intersection of formal semantics and cognitive neuroscience, particularly in quantification, scalar implicature, and morphological processing. He employs experimental and neuroimaging techniques (e.g., MEG) to investigate how linguistic meaning is computed in real time. His work spans theoretical, experimental, and computational approaches to language. The recent publications reflect a strong trend in integrating formal semantic theory with psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic validation. Key themes include scalar inference processing, quotative constructions, morphological complexity effects on brain responses, and the semantics of plurality. These works span journals such as Linguistics and Philosophy , Language and Cognitive Processes , and Linguistic Variation , indicating interdisciplinary reach across theoretical and cognitive linguistics. He has served on editorial boards for prominent journals including Semantics and Pragmatics and Language and Cognitive Processes , and has acted as a reviewer for Linguistic Inquiry . His external activities include numerous invited talks at institutions such as ZAS Berlin, NYU, and Queen Mary College. Eytan Zweig supervises PhD students, including Upsorn Tawilapakul, and has secured research funding through a pump-priming grant on scalar calculation. He collaborates with scholars such as George Tsoulas and Bill Haddican on syntactic and semantic innovations. He is actively involved in research groups at York and leads projects that bridge theoretical linguistics with cognitive neuroscience, contributing to both foundational knowledge and methodological advances in the field.

Dr. Valentina Brunetto is a Lecturer in Linguistics at the Department of Linguistics and Phonetics, School of Languages, Cultures and Societies, University of Leeds. She is an active researcher in theoretical and experimental syntax, with a strong focus on child language acquisition, anaphora, and the syntax-semantics interface. She is affiliated with the Leeds Child Development Unit and leads the MA Linguistics and MA Linguistics & ELT programs. Education: PhD in Linguistics, University of Leeds MA in Linguistics, University of Siena BA in Journalism, University of Palermo Her research explores the interaction between syntactic structures and interpretation, particularly in early language development. She investigates how children acquire complex syntactic constructions such as attitude reports, causatives, and anaphoric dependencies, with a focus on Italian. Her work integrates generative syntax with experimental methods including eye-tracking and comprehension tasks. The most recent publications reflect a consistent focus on the syntax-semantics interface in child grammar, particularly anaphora resolution, intensionality, and attitude reports. Her work spans theoretical linguistics, psycholinguistics, and developmental linguistics, often using comparative and experimental approaches. Scientific Memberships: Member of the Linguistics Association of Great Britain (LAGB) Dr. Brunetto teaches undergraduate and postgraduate courses in generative syntax, experimental syntax, language acquisition, and processing. She supervises BA and MA dissertations and welcomes PhD inquiries. She has previously taught at the University of Manchester and held a postdoctoral position at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, funded by the Fondazione Marica De Vincenzi. Her research is supported by institutional affiliations and collaborative networks in formal linguistics and child development. She is a core member of the Leeds Child Development Unit and contributes to research groups in Formal Linguistics, Language Acquisition, Language Processing, and Linguistics and Phonetics.
