  1. Co-speech gesture projection: Evidence from truth-value judgment and picture selection tasks (2017 · 37 citations)
    The paper asks how meaning carried by iconic co-speech gestures interacts with logical operators such as negation, modals and quantifiers.
  2. Co-speech gesture projection: Evidence from inferential judgments (2018 · 35 citations)
    Co-speech gestures, such as pointing upward while saying "use the stairs," add meaning to an utterance. The open question is how that added meaning behaves under negation or quantifiers. Three accounts compete. Gestures may be ordinary at-issue modifiers, appositive-like supplements (Ebert & Ebert 2014), or…
  3. Intervention effects in NPI licensing: A quantitative assessment of the scalar implicature explanation (2018 · 4 citations)
    The paper asks whether scalar implicatures can account for the way certain elements block the licensing of negative polarity items (NPIs), a phenomenon known as intervention.
  4. Biasless Language Models Learn Unnaturally: How LLMs Fail to Distinguish the Possible from the Impossible (2026 · 3 citations)
    The paper asks whether large language models, like human learners, find naturally occurring languages easier to acquire than "impossible" ones that break core linguistic constraints such as hierarchical, recursive structure.
