Jan Nuyts is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Antwerp. His main research area is cognitive-functional semantics. His current focus of attention concerns the cognitive and functional structure of qualificational categories - and the modal categories in particular - and their linguistic expressions, synchronically and diachronically, and what one can learn from them about human cognition. Johan van der Auwera is Professor of General and English Linguistics at the University of Antwerp, and editor-in-chief of the journal Linguistics. His current research focuses on grammatical semantics and typology (including areal typology and dialectology), with special reference to mood, modality, negation, indefinites, and impersonals.
