I am a PhD student in semantics & pragmatics based at ZAS Berlin. I’m interested in phenomena surrounding context shift, quotativity, indexicals, not-at-issue meaning, negation, and degrees. I use mainly formal and experimental methods, and try to computate sometimes.

I generally go by and write as ari – unless you got to know me before 2017 ;)

My given name is Aarti Joshi, pronounced [​​a​​ɾt̪​​i​ ​d͡z​​o​​ʃ​​i​​] (or [jo​​ʃ​i] in Germany).

I often have to spell it Aarati because my passport says so, but I promise you there is no “a” sound after the r! It’s at most a schwa and that’s a very unhelpful transliteration.
