Linguistic Semantics Lab (LiSLab)

Welcome to the Linguistic Semantics Lab (LiSLab) at Boston University!

Directed by Asst. Prof. Elizabeth (“Liz”) Coppock, LiSLab is dedicated to the study of foundational questions in semantic/pragmatic theory through empirically rich studies of diverse languages.

We use a variety of methods, including targeted comparative fieldwork across a broad sample of languages, in-depth field studies of particular languages, corpus-based methods, and experimental methods.
