Angelika Kratzer is a preeminent semanticist whose expertise includes modals, conditionals, situation semantics, and a range of topics relating to the syntax–semantics interface. She is a professor of linguistics in the department of linguistics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Among her most influential ideas are: a unified analysis of modality of different flavors (building on the work of Jaakko Hintikka); a modal analysis of conditionals; and the hypothesis ("the little v hypothesis") that the agent argument of a transitive verb is introduced syntactically whereas the theme argument is selected for lexically.
Kratzer received her PhD from the University of Konstanz in 1979.[3]
She co-wrote with Irene Heim the semantics textbook Semantics in Generative Grammar, and is co-editor of the journal Natural Language Semantics. She has written five books and at least 32 articles,[4] and as of July 2015 has amassed 15,657[5] citations on Google Scholar.
