ITALIAN SIGN LANGUAGE 1
Her research activities focus currently on sign languages in correlation with the concept of language as a faculty and the related theoretical and epistemological problems linked to their description and analysis. The analysis is based on a comparative approach with spoken languages. Under this perspective, she has dealt with metaphor and metonymy, with sociolinguistics, with translation and interpreting and different modelization of translation developed for spoken languages, with metalinguistic awareness and gramatization. Furthermore, she works also in the field of co-speech and co-sign gesture in a developmental perspective and in deaf and hearing adult communication. More recently she has worked also in the field of teaching sign language and Italian, linguistics rights, inclusion processes and empowerment of migrants and minorities.
