Research summary
AI-generated

Prerna Nadathur works in linguistic semantics, focusing on how meaning, causality, and event structure interact in sentences—for example why verbs like 'manage to' or constructions like 'enough' and 'too' imply that something actually happened. This research combines formal logical analysis of sentence meaning with close examination of naturally occurring language data, including understudied languages such as O'dam.
