Dr Magdalena Sztencel works in the Institute of English and American Studies, where she teaches Semantics and Pragmatics, Syntax, Critical Discourse Analysis and Academic Writing. Her main research so far has focused on the current debate about the semantics-pragmatics distinction, conditionals and modals. She is interested in integrating linguistic, philosophical and psychological perspectives to further an understanding of common-ground effects on the interpretation of utterances, including in intercultural contexts.
Prior to joining the team at the University of Gdańsk, she worked at Newcastle University, Northumbria University and York St John University in the UK. She is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (UK) and an ad hoc reviewer for Cambridge University Press, De Gruyter, Routledge and Edinburgh University Press.
