2021. Chapter 2. Ad hoc categorization in linguistic interaction. Building Categories in Interaction: Linguistic resources at work, Mauri, Caterina, Ilaria Fiorentini and Eugenio Goria (eds.), pp. 9–34
The aim of this paper is to describe and explain the role that linguistic interaction plays in category construction and communication, by looking at naturally occurring data of spoken language. First, it will be argued that there is a way of building categories that is inherently interactional and… read more | Chapter

2019. Non-exhaustive lists in spoken language: A construction grammatical perspective. On the Role of Pragmatics in Construction Grammar, Finkbeiner, Rita (ed.), pp. 290–316
The aim of this paper is to analyze how speakers refer to non-exhaustive sets in spoken discourse, by means of open lists. We will propose an analysis of non-exhaustivity in terms of indexicality and we will therefore consider open lists as having an inherently pragmatic component. Based on corpus… read more | Article
2017. Chapter 12. Dubitative-corrective constructions in Italian. Pragmatic Markers, Discourse Markers and Modal Particles: New perspectives, Fedriani, Chiara and Andrea Sansó (eds.), pp. 335–367
This paper investigates the properties of a set of poorly described Italian constructions characterized, at the same time, by (i) a dubitative component, challenging a presupposition generated by the preceding context and (ii) a corrective function. These constructions revolve around four adverbial… read more | Chapter

2008. The irreality of alternatives: Towards a typology of disjunction. Studies in Language 32:1, pp. 22–55
This paper investigates the variety of morphosyntactic strategies that languages use to encode the relation of alternative between states of affairs. A semantic definition of disjunction will be given, based on the notion of alternative meaning proposed by Dik 1968. After defining the functional… read more | Article
2007. Conjunctive, disjunctive and adversative constructions in Europe: Some areal considerations. Europe and the Mediterranean as Linguistic Areas: Convergencies from a historical and typological perspective, Ramat, Paolo and Elisa Roma (eds.), pp. 183–213
The aim of this paper is to show the areal distribution of the semantic and morphosyntactic features characterizing conjunctive, disjunctive and adversative constructions in the languages of Europe. The analysis will be carried out on two levels. On the one hand, I will examine the cross-linguistic… read more | Article
