معرفی
Daniele BAGLIONI is a Full Professor and current Director of the Department of Humanities at Ca' Foscari University of Venice, where he also serves as a member of the Academic Senate. His academic career spans over two decades with progressive appointments from researcher (2011-2018) to associate professor (2018-2020) and finally to full professor since June 2020. He coordinates multiple research projects including CHANGES, DIA, and MIA, all funded by major Italian and international organizations.
His research focuses on five primary areas: Italian historical linguistics (particularly etymology and historical phonetics), the history of Italian outside Italy (especially in the medieval and early modern Mediterranean), contact between Romance languages and other Mediterranean languages, the history of Italian linguistics, and invented languages in Italian literature. His work bridges philology, historical linguistics, and cultural studies with a strong emphasis on Mediterranean cross-linguistic interactions.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent focus on language contact phenomena, particularly allographic traditions where Italo-Romance varieties appear in non-Romance scripts. His work spans both theoretical linguistics and applied philological studies, with increasing emphasis on digital humanities approaches in his most recent projects.
