Jonathan Ginzburg is a Researcher in the Department of Linguistics at Université Paris Diderot, affiliated with the CLILLAC-ARP research group. His work bridges linguistics, cognitive science, and computational models, focusing on dialogue semantics, pragmatic functions, and developmental language acquisition. Education details are not explicitly provided in the text, but his research spans formal semantics, syntax, and multimodal interaction. His studies on laughter dynamics and infant communicative behaviors have advanced understanding of pragmatic functions in early development. Key research interests include dialogue structure, question-response systems, and the integration of cognitive science with linguistic theory. Recent work explores neural correlates of language processing through type-theoretical semantics and corpus-based methodologies. He has pioneered the analysis of non-sentential utterances and their role in social interaction. His contributions to dialogue systems design for low-resource languages and the DUEL corpus (analyzing disfluencies, exclamations, and laughter) reflect his interdisciplinary approach. Current projects investigate laughter's pragmatic functions across developmental stages and cross-linguistic variations in exclamatory constructions. Laboratory affiliations include the CLILLAC-ARP laboratory, where he develops computational tools for analyzing dialogue semantics and cognitive interactions. His work on 'response spaces' for questions integrates machine learning and formal pragmatics to model conversational coherence.
