Biography

---

Cristina Grisot carried out her doctoral research on temporal reference in English and Romance languages (French, Italian and Romanian), in which she adopted an empirical perspective (corpus work, contrastive analysis and offline experiments). In the last years, she has been working on offline and online experimental investigations of human processing of verbal tenses, temporal connectives and temporal adverbials, as well as on their rich inter-relations.She is interested in the expression of temporal reference in natural language by looking at typologically different languages, such as tense-prominent, aspect-prominent and tenseless languages.Recently, she started working on the pragmatics of negation and its cognitive processing. More generally, she is interested in the human cognitive processing of temporality in natural language and its tight relations with causality.Additionally, her research targeted new methods for improving the results of machine translation systems by adding pragmatic information (research carried out in two Swiss inter-disciplinary projects). Currently, she is coordinating the Swiss node of the European research infrastructure CLARIN "Common Language Resources and Language Technology".
