Judith Tonhauser
EducationPh.D in Linguistics
EmployerThe Ohio State University
Known forwork on Paraguayan Guaraní, cross-linguistic variation in semantics/pragmatics, nominal tense and anaphora presupposition projection

Judith Tonhauser is a Professor of Linguistics at The Ohio State University. She is known for her work in theoretical semantics, specifically on cross-linguistic semantic/pragmatic variation and on the Paraguayan Guarani language, a Tupí Guaraní language spoken in Paraguay and surrounding countries.

Education

Tonhauser received her Ph.D. in Linguistics from Stanford University in 2006. Her dissertation was titled,The Temporal Semantics of Noun Phrases: Evidence from Guaraní.[1]

Career

Tonhauser's topics of interest include Presupposition projection, Prosody and Meaning, Temporal Anaphora and Reference, and empirical methods in Semantics and Pragmatics. She is also an Associate Editor of Semantics and Pragmatics, a journal of the Linguistic Society of America.[2]

Awards and honors

Tonhauser is the recipient of the 2016 Early Career Award from the Linguistic Society of America.[3][4] The award recognizes scholars early in their career who have made outstanding contributions to the field of linguistics.

Tonhauser's 2013 paper, "Toward a taxonomy of projective content," coauthored with David Beaver, Craige Roberts, and Mandy Simons won the 2013 Best Paper in Language (journal) Award from the Linguistic Society of America.[5] In 2013, she was awarded the Frederick Burkhardt Residential Fellowships for Recently Tenured Scholars for her project Content and Context in the Study of Meaning Variation.[6]
