I am a philosopher with extended knowledge of contemporary debates in metaethics and philosophy of language and with a sound command of contemporary formal semantics and pragmatics. My PhD thesis offers an expressivist account of evaluative adjectives that takes into account their scalar properties. My interests span to further topics in philosophy of language and formal semantics and pragmatics (attitudinal predicates, synonymy; the de re/se/dicto distinction). I have an MA in philosophy from New York University, where I was a Fulbright fellow (2014-2016). I have a PhD in Philosophy from Institut Jean Nicod (2019 advisor Isidora Stojanovic). Since 2019 I am a postdoctoral researcher at IFILNOVA (U. Nova de Lisboa, supervisors: Erich Rast and Marcin Lewinski). I have 5 published articles at Inquiry (Q1), Royal Institute of Philosophy Supplements, Phenomenology & Mind (Q3), Studia Semiotyczne and Bajo Palabra (Q4), 2 articles undergoing minor revisions at Australasian Journal of Philosophy (Q1) and Mind & Language (Q1), 3 articles under review at Linguistics & Philosophy (Q1), Analysis (Q1) & Organon F (Q3), 2 peer-reviewed proceedings (at Springer & Sinn und Bedeutung, the top linguistics conference in Europe) & 3 book chapters to appear in 2021 (Cambridge University Press; Springer). Papers under review are likely to change their status. Updated information can be found on my personal website: https://sites.google.com/view/andressoriaruiz/papers?authuser=0.
