I have taught translation (from English into Italian), English linguistics and corpus linguistics for over 25 years at the Department of Interpreting and Translation of the University of Bologna at Forlì, Italy. My research interests are related to lexis and phraseology, ‘constrained’ language production, language learning and teaching, and translator education. I am fascinated by the interaction of languages and technology, and believe that artificial and human intelligence should work together to concretely improve all lives, particularly those who need it the most. Apart from UPSKILLS, my most cherished project at the moment is SLIT (Service Learning, Innovation, Translation), an international cooperation project funded by the University of Bologna and involving the universities of Nairobi (Kenya) and Gaston Berger de Saint Louis (Senegal), aiming to develop professional communities and practices around the translation of under-resourced languages.

I am a researcher and doctoral student at the Institute of Linguistics and Language Technology at the University of Malta. My PhD research is entitled ‘Maltese First Language Acquisition’, with a specific focus on morpho-syntax and psycholinguistics analytical approaches. My research interests are first and second language acquisition, psycholinguistics, language typology and variation, morpho-syntax and Maltese linguistics.

I am a Research Fellow at the Department of English Studies, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Rijeka. I hold a dual MA in Croatian and English (University of Osijek, Croatia), and a PhD in Linguistics (University of Zagreb, Croatia). I conducted my doctoral research as a Doctoral Research Fellow at the University of Alberta, Canada (2017-2018). I specialize in discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, and second language acquisition and teaching. My main research interests are narrativity and identity construction in various genres such as narratives about migration; social media discourse; and teaching foreign languages to vulnerable groups. I am  currently a part of the Erasmus+ UPSKILLS (UPgrading the SKIlls of Linguistics and Language Students) consortium and an active member of the LITHME (Language In The Human-Machine Era) COST action (Working Group 6: Ideologies, beliefs, attitudes).

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of English Language and Literature in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Rijeka, Croatia. I obtained my MPhil in English and Applied Linguistics and my PhD in Second Language Acquisition from the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom. I am a developmental linguist and psycholinguist and my research and teaching focus on first and second language acquisition and processing. My expertise is in quantitative, especially experimental, research methods. I am Co-Editor of the Studies in Bilingualism book series. I have led and been involved in numerous research projects and am currently Team Coordinator on two Erasmus+ projects: UPgrading the SKIlls of Linguistics and Language Students (UPSKILLS) and Teacher Education About Multilingualism (TEAM). I am Director of Bilingualism Matters@Rijeka, a branch of the Bilingualism Matters not-for-profit organisation, the aim of which is to communicate research findings about bilingualism and language learning to the wider public.

I have worked at the Faculty of Philology, University of Belgrade since 1989, first as an assistant, then from 2005 as an assistant professor, then professor lecturer from 2010, and a full professor of the Slovenian language since 2015. My fields of interest are: comparative Serbian-Slovenian grammar, translation theory and teaching of Slovenian as second/foreign language. I am the author and co-author of a number of scientific papers and articles in scientific journals, of a grammar of Slovenian, and Serbian-Slovenian and Slovenian-Serbian dictionaries. I participate as a researcher in different projects and actively participate at conferences and workshops in Serbia and abroad, and have been a visiting professor abroad at several European universities. I have published my work in internationally acclaimed scientific publications. I have also translated a wide variety of texts from Serbian into Slovenian and vice versa.

I am an Associate Professor in English Language and Translation at the University of Bologna, and a member of the Board of the Doctorate in Translation, Interpreting and Intercultural Studies of the same University. I have a Doctorate in English for Special Purposes from the University of Naples “Federico II”. My main research interests are in the field of construction of linguistic resources, and I have been involved in several collaborative corpus construction projects, including the EPTIC initiative and the Eurolect Observatory. On the more descriptive side, my work focuses on phraseology and terminology in native, translated and lingua franca varieties of English, which I explore combining corpus linguistics techniques and statistical methods. I teach an MA module on translation technologies.

I am a Training and Education Officer at CLARIN ERIC. In this role, I am working closely with the CLARIN community to ensure that the training and resource activities relevant to the humanities and social sciences disciplines are developed according to the FAIR principles for scientific data management. In addition, I am coordinating CLARIN’s activities in the UPSKILLS project. In the past, I worked as a terminologist, technical writer and lecturer in Computer-Aided Translation and Terminology Management. Besides teaching, I have experience in optimising and developing training programs for both students and professional translators. Finally, I have been involved in community projects, such as the development of the Language Technology Wiki, Translation Commons and I am also a member of the JIAMCATT Liaison Committee at the European Commission.

I teach general linguistics, second language acquisition and data analysis in the Department of Interpreting and Translation of the University of Bologna at Forlì. I first started studying languages because I wanted to be a translator, but I ended up doing a bit of translation and a lot of linguistics, discovering along the way that I also like statistics. I am interested in graded language phenomena, and in comparing different types of speakers, especially bilinguals. I enjoy solving methodological puzzles and try to stress the importance of method in everything I do.
I was/am active in ReLDI, a predecessor of UPSKILLS.

I am currently employed as a research fellow at the University in Graz, where I am mainly involved in the research project “Hyperspacing the Verb: The interplay between prosody, morphology and semantics in the Western South Slavic verbal domain”. I obtained my MA and PhD from Utrecht University and have since taught and performed research at the universities of Utrecht, Nova Gorica and Graz. My main areas of research are phonology, prosody, morphology and morphosyntax, language contact and normativity. Most of my work focuses on Slovenian and Bosnian / Croatian / Montenegrin / Serbian, but I have also worked on Dutch and colonial Venetian. I am passionate about understanding the ways in which parts of the language faculty (phonology, syntax, lexicon, but also social awareness and normativity) interface with each other to produce the complex behaviour that we call language.

I am a historical linguist working in the domain of Romance and Slavic languages. My interests include morphosyntax, polar bears and cold winters. I used to live in the Arctic, but I am currently enjoying the mild Styrian weather in Graz.
