Chiara Fedriani serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures at the University of Genoa. Her teaching responsibilities for the 2025-2026 academic year include:
- GlottoLOGY AND LINGUISTICS (Degree Course - Modern Languages and Cultures)
- GENERAL LINGUISTICS (Degree Course - Theories and Techniques of Interlinguistic Mediation)
- INTERCULTURAL PRAGMATIC (Master's Degree Course - Languages and Intercultural Communication for Institutions and Businesses)
She has also taught ADVANCED LINGUISTICS and PRAGMATICS OF INTERACTION during the 2024-2025 academic year. Dr. Fedriani's research expertise lies at the intersection of historical linguistics, pragmatics, and corpus-based analysis, with primary focus on the evolution of Latin into Italian. Her work examines metaphorical expressions in ancient Latin texts, diachronic development of demonstratives, apology strategies in historical Italian, and pragmatic markers like 'ma vieni' in contemporary usage. She also investigates medieval Latin documents from Genoese colonies in the Mediterranean through corpus linguistics methodologies.
Her recent publications (2024-2025) reveal a cohesive research trajectory centered on diachronic pragmatics and language change. Key contributions include analyzing dolor metaphors in Latin, tracing demonstrative renewal from Latin to Italian, and examining cultural influences on linguistic evolution. Her collaborative work on 14th-century Genoese notarial acts in Latin demonstrates interdisciplinary integration of historical linguistics with medieval studies, consistently employing corpus-based approaches across all research domains.
