Me as Language Scientist

I carried out my doctoral research on temporal reference in English and Romance languages (French, Italian and Romanian), in which I adopted an empirical perspective (corpus work, contrastive analysis and offline experiments). My doctoral research also targeted methods for improving the results of machine translation systems by adding pragmatic information (research carried out in two Swiss inter-disciplinary projects: COMTIS and MODERN).

In the recent years, I have been working on offline and online experimental investigations of subjectivity, its linguistic cues, verb tense, mood and aspect, temporal and causal connectives, as well as on their rich inter-relations. In parallel, I carried out a series of collaborative studies on the expression of temporal reference in natural language by looking at typologically different languages, such as tense-prominent, aspect-prominent and tenseless languages (VTS project), on the pragmatics of negation and its cognitive processing, as well as on the human cognitive processing of temporality in natural language and its tight relations with causality (Processing temporal relations project).

More recently, I have been providing my scientific expertise in two other interdisciplinary research projects: one in language pathology (aphasia and Alzheimer disease) and one in criminal law and criminal procedures.
