    RESEARCH AREAS:
           Pragmatics & Linguistics, Health Communication, Argumentation Theory

           My area of scientific activity is the philosophy of language that I consider as a starting point
           to understand some important issues about the nature of human communication and human
           nature. Focusing my attention on issues with a strong social and ethical relevance, my
           research reflects the cross-cutting relevance of these issues and promotes multidisciplinarity
           through a cross-thematic approach. With regard to the latter point, I used suggestions and
           evidence coming from linguistics, pragmatics, argumentation theory, psychology and health
           communication. In all these contexts, I have adopted a pragmatic point of view.

    RESEARCH INTERESTS:
           Reasoning and argumentation, Communication in chronic care, Metaphor theory, Emotion
           theory

           My current research interests regard the role of reasoning and argumentation in the social and
           collaborative dimension of human communication. Working on the project “Healthy
           Reasoning”, I have brought to the research my competencies in the study of emotions and
           reasoning. Together with Fabrizio Macagno, I am designing a pilot study on how and which
           metaphors have a higher potential to foster patient understanding, working on the
           argumentative structure presupposed in any metaphor. More specifically, I am interested in
           analyzing the main theoretical and practical problems with respect to the relationship between
           metaphors and argumentation. To this purpose, I am using a pragmatic-argumentative model
           of communication to reconstruct the metaphorical meanings in terms of the underlying
           presuppositions. Offering an explanation of presuppositions in terms of presumptive
           reasoning, I intend to analyze different types of misunderstandings originating in the use of
           metaphors in real contexts.
