Daniela Veronesi

Daniela Veronesi serves as Assistant Professor of Linguistics at the Faculty of Education, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (unibz). Prior to her current position, she conducted research at EURAC Research in Bolzano focusing on Italian and German legal language within the frameworks of text linguistics, cognitive metaphor theory, and foreign language teaching. She also gained international experience as an Italian instructor at New York University and Columbia University.

Dr. Veronesi's research centers on social interaction from a conversation analysis perspective, with particular focus on educational and musical contexts. Her work spans multiple dimensions of linguistic interaction including multimodality, multilingual communication, language biographies, radio interviews, and non-professional language mediation. Her research macro-areas encompass languages and multilingualism in South Tyrol, classroom interaction (both face-to-face and online), language biographies, linguistic landscapes, and interaction in music settings.

Her publication record demonstrates consistent scholarly output across diverse linguistic contexts. Analysis of her recent work reveals a strong emphasis on conversation analysis methodologies applied to educational settings, particularly examining inclusive education practices and virtual classroom dynamics. Her research increasingly incorporates multimodal analysis to understand how verbal and nonverbal communication intersect in various interactional contexts, from primary education to musical improvisation.

Dr. Veronesi teaches courses including Comparative Grammar of Italian and German and Italian Linguistics (lab.) within the Single-cycle Master's Degree in Primary Education Sciences - Italian-language section. Her teaching integrates her research interests in multilingual communication and interactional linguistics.
