Nel secondo semestre riceverò il mercoledì nell'orario 15 - 16 nel mio studio (III.12, quinto piano di Palazzo Serra, Piazza Santa Sabina 2). Invito in ogni caso gli studenti a prenotarsi contattandomi via mail.

My main research interests are in the areas of lexical semantics and figurative language. I have worked on the Italian verbal lexicon and on the linguistic expression of sensory experience. Currently, I am particularly interested in synaesthetic metaphors and in the linguistic and perceptual mechanisms that may explain their properties.
