Giulia Rambelli

Postdoctoral researcher for the ABSTRACTION project at the University of Bologna, researching the topic "Word Specificity in Context". I obtained a joint PhD degree in Linguistics from the University of Pisa (Italy) and Aix-Marseille University (France). My research is at the intersection between theoretical linguistics, cognitive science, and machine learning. I am interested in the underlying mechanisms in sentence interpretation and productivity from a usage-based perspective.

In my thesis, I investigated the balance between compositional and direct access to meaning, and how the cognitive process of analogy can be represented as a source of linguistic productivity from a theoretical and computational perspective.
