PhD Project
Why his mother is better than a mother
My PhD dissertation builds on the “Theory of Concept Types and Determination” (short CTD). It investigates the cognitive reality of the four concept types and conceptual type shifts resulting from their interaction with determination types. I use psycholinguistic methods to gain empirical evidence for these claims made by the CTD.
