Philip Hofmeister is a Visiting Assistant Professor at Brown University’s Department of Cognitive, Linguistic, and Psychological Sciences. One strand of his research looks at the implicit process of memory retrieval during language processing and how this process is affected by the nature and complexity of targeted information. Additional work, based on collaborations with Ivan Sag, Laura Staum Casasanto, Elisabeth Norcliffe and others, considers how linguistic intuitions of well-formedness vary as a result of gradient, functional factors and individual differences.
