Associate Editors
Jürgen Bohnemeyer (Ph.D. 1998, Tilburg University) is Associate Professor of Linguistics at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Bohnemeyer specializes in semantic typology, the crosslinguistic study of semantic categorization. Bohnemeyer’s work focuses on the semantic typology of representations of space, time, and events.
Ad Foolen (Ph.D. 1993, Radboud University Nijmegen), retired. His research focuses on non-propositional meaning, as manifested in particular via pragmatic markers and expressive constructions. Dutch, German and English are the languages he focuses on. From 2005 till 2015 he was Secretary/Treasurer of ICLA.
Martin Hilpert (Ph.D. 2007, Rice University) is Professor of English Linguistics at the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. His research interests include cognitive linguistics, language change, construction grammar. He has been investigating these topics with quantitative corpus linguistic methods and experimental techniques.
Francisco José Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez (Ph.D. 1991, University of Zaragoza) is Professor of Linguistics at the University of La Rioja, Spain. His research is focused on the application of cognitive modeling principles to figurative language and thought, to the understanding of the implicational, illocutionary, and discourse dimensions of language use, and to constructionist accounts of language.
Robert D. Rupert (Ph.D. 1996, University of Illinois at Chicago) is Professor of Philosophy and Fellow of the Institute of Cognitive Science at the University of Colorado at Boulder and Regular Visiting Professor at the University of Edinburgh. His research focuses primarily on mental representation, cognitive architecture, and situated and embodied cognition. Beginning in September, 2020, he will be co-editor-in-chief of the British Journal for the Philosophy of Science.
Hendrik De Smet (Ph.D. 2008, University of Leuven) is Associate Professor at the University of Leuven, Belgium. His research is into the mechanisms underlying language change, such as analogy, blending, pragmatic strengthening, competition – and how those mechanisms interact with one another and with the existing language system. The primary focus of his work is on the recent history of English.
