Yasutada Sudo

I am a Professor of Linguistics at the Department of Linguistics of University College London (UCL). My research is about theoretical linguistics, mainly semantics, pragmatics, and syntax.

I am Managing Editor for Journal of Semantics (2026–), where I was previously a co-Managing Editor (2023–2026) with Emmanuel Chemla and an Associate Editor (2016–2023). Before that I served as an Editor for the Squibs and Discussion section of Linguistic Inquiry (October 2013–November 2017).
