My main research interests are:

- historical-comparative linguistics, - linguistic typology, - linguistic anthropology

- the philology of ancient texts of the Mediterranean and the ancient Near East.

In particular, I dealt with languages ​​of poor attestation or incomplete decipherment in Anatolia of the second and first millennium, of multilingual texts and of ancient translations and their theories.

Main linguistic topics cover:

-- syntactic alignment, -- information structure

-- the history of linguistic thought, -- metalanguage.

An important role in my research has grammatology, in particular the study of ancient writing systems.

Research groups

Indogermanische Grammatik
Il progetto prevede lo studio della sintassi delle lingue indoeuropee all'interno del progetto della nuova indogermanische Grammatik (edizioni Carl Winter Verlag). Il progetto è finanziato dalla fondazione Fritz von Thyssen ed è in collaborazione con l'Accademia delle Scienze di Vienna (Velizar Sadovski) e il gruppo di ricerca internazionale "Indogermanische Grammatik und Syntax" (coord. da Thomas Lindner, Univ. di Salisburgo).
LautSchrift&Sprache
Il gruppo internazionale si occupa di grafematica storica, epigrafia e storia delle scritture. Ha fondato la serie LautSchriftSprache | ScriptandSound, edita presso Reichert Verlag di Wiesbaden.

Metalinguaggio e storia del pensiero linguistico L'attività di ricerca comprende l'analisi della storia dei termini e delle idee centrali nel pensiero linguistico e nella glottologia, le relazioni fra concetti della linguistica e concetti comparabili in altre discipline (filologia, filosofia, semiotica, psicologia, antropologia, sociologia etc.). L'interesse di ricerca copre non solo la parte antica e medievale, ma anche la modernità e la contemporaneità, focalizzandosi sui diversi periodi a seconda dei relativi interessi di ricerca specifici. La ricerca si avvale di mezzi elettronici e metodi computazionali per il reperimento delle fonti, la comparazione, l'onotologia dei concetti. Linguistics
