Thomas Grano studies the structure and meaning of language, focusing on how sentence grammar (syntax) connects to interpretation (semantics), especially in reports of mental states such as beliefs, desires, and intentions. His work often compares patterns across languages including English, Mandarin, and Arabic, and engages closely with philosophical questions about meaning and modality. This places his research at the intersection of theoretical linguistics and the philosophy of language.
