Elizabeth Allyn Smith’s research bridges experimental and formal theoretical approaches to semantic and pragmatic language data. Her current projects include, but are not limited to a cross-linguistic investigation of how speakers perceive and produce linguistic rejections and how this varies by meaning type, the creation of a corpus of task-oriented Quebec French, and the acquisition of properties of factive verbs by adult second-language speakers (with fellow CRBLM member Daphnée Simard).
