Template:Short description Anna Szabolcsi (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a linguist whose research has focused on semantics, syntax, and the syntax–semantics interface. She was born and educated in Hungary, and received her Ph.D. from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest.[1]

She is currently a professor of linguistics at New York University.[2] She has been a research fellow at the Research Institute for Linguistics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, and a professor at UCLA.

Szabolcsi was one of the first to propose the determiner phrase hypothesis[3] and alongside Mark Steedman and others initiated research in combinatory categorial grammar.[4] More recently she has worked on quantification,[5] islands,[6] polarity,[7] verbal complexes,[8] overt nominative subjects in infinitival complements, [9] and cross-linguistic semantics.
