Katharina Felka is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Philosophy at the University of Graz. Previously, she worked on Benjamin Schnieder's Nominalizations project at the University of Hamburg, Matti Eklund's Varieties of Normativity project at Uppsala University, and held positions at the University of Zurich. She also spent time at the University of Konstanz, the ILLC in Amsterdam, the Humboldt University in Berlin, MIT in Cambridge (MA), and Concept Lab at the University of Oslo.
Felka primarily focuses on questions at the intersection of philosophy of language and linguistics. Her PhD thesis, which received the Wolfgang-Stegmüller award in 2015, addressed the ontological commitments of our talk about numbers. Currently, she is especially interested in normatively loaded expressions (such as pejoratives, thick terms, and 'dual character concepts') and, more broadly, in issues at the semantics/pragmatics interface. She also has a strong interest in the workings of that-clauses, concealed questions, and presuppositions.
