Alan Bale is a Professor in the Department of Classics and Modern Languages at Concordia University. His research utilizes tools from logic to analyze grammatical representations of meaning in language. His work is influenced by the semantic frameworks developed by generative linguists such as Chomsky and others. Bale's research encompasses grammatical representation terms, scalar competition, and the exploration of both linguistic and non-linguistic aspects of meaning in children and adults. He aims to achieve a comprehensive understanding of how language interacts with conceptual development, particularly in the domain of number and quantification. Languages such as Mi’gmaq, English, and Western Armenian are integral to his studies. Education includes a BA (1996), MA (2001), and PhD (2006) from McGill University, followed by post-doctoral research at MIT.
