My name is Moreno Mitrović & I’m a linguist.
Most of my work revolves around my fascination and frustration with (problems of) language.
I am currently Senior Researcher at ZAS, Berlin. Beyond, or parallel to, my life in academia and research, I am also the co-founder of Bled Institute in Slovenia.
Past talks
- THE 23rd WORKSHOP ON THE ROOTS OF PRAGMASEMANTICS, POLAND | APRIL, 2024
- I will be delivering a keynote on my current work on Morpho-Logic, pivoting on the idea that there is no accidental homophony in marking of logical expressions and that logical homophony (detectable as a pattern of marking more than one logical context using the same signal/morpheme) is a universally available window into the logic-grammar interface (open in all languages of the world, to varying degrees).
