Alessia Cassarà is a Research Fellow at the Institute of Linguistics and Romance Studies, University of Stuttgart, actively contributing to the DFG Research Group SILPAC (FOR 5157). She investigates how input differences influence language acquisition and diachronic change in French and Italian verbal structures under Project H2 led by Prof. Dr. Achim Stein.
Education:
- PhD in Romance Studies from the University of Cologne, focusing on information structure-syntax interfaces in French and Spanish.
Her research integrates Corpus Linguistics and Experimental Methods (e.g., structural priming) to analyze cognitive mechanisms like language economy in Romance language evolution. Specializing in Language Variation, Verbal Semantics, and Sociolinguistics, she examines minority languages including Sicilian, Catalonian Spanish, and Iranian Kurdish dialects through extensive fieldwork.
Previously involved in the CRC 1252 "Prominence in Language" project, she maintains active research collaborations within DFG-funded frameworks while advancing diachronic-comparative methodologies in Romance linguistics.
