Department of Comparative and General Linguistics

Asst. Prof. Dr. Sašo Živanović

My primary research interest is semantics, where I work primarily on quantification. But I also work on (segmental) phonology, and syntax is between these anyway, right? Broadly, I'm interested in the overall architecture of the language faculty. I like to write my stuff in LaTeX, and I also like to write LaTeX packages. And let's not forget there's life outside academia: I dance argentine tango and play an occasional chess game.
