Margarita Salas visiting fellow

Biography

Background

I am a Margarita Salas postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Philosophy I, University of Granada, Spain, currently visiting the School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences at the University of Edinburgh. I am part of the Filosofía y Análisis research group and the excellence unit FiloLab-UGR. My interest area is philosophy of language. I am particularly intrigued by the peculiar behavior exhibited by evaluative uses of language, which I try to explain through a semantic framework that combines relativist and expressivist elements.
