Giuseppe Samo

Dr. of Linguistics

Lecturer of Linguistics in the Department of Linguistics at BLCU

Giuseppe Samo recently discussed his PhD dissertation (under the supervision of Prof. Luigi Rizzi and Prof. Ur Shlonsky) at the University of Geneva, working on a formal model to account syntactic micro-variation among V2 languages, focusing on Germanic languages and Swiss Romansh varieties, adopting cartographic analytical tools. Previously, he completed his education at the University of Siena. He first graduated in intercultural studies” during which he spent a semester at the Georg-August University of Göttingen, with a special focus on Germanic Philology and linguistics. He then obtained a Master degree in Linguistics and Cognitive Studies. His interests include the role of syntactic theory at the interfaces with pragmatics, computer linguistics and data science. Finally, he carries dissemination activities concerning linguistic theory to a more general public.
