Research Trends in his recent work include:

• Event concatenation in Sicilian verbal constructions
• Modal logic foundations for natural language semantics
• Cross-linguistic studies of temporal connectives
• Sign language temporal processing
• Italian polysemous adverbials
• Counterfactual conditionals in Romance languages

Scientific Contributions include:

• Formal analysis of Sicilian Doubly Inflected Constructions
• Modal logic frameworks for temporal semantics
• Discourse presupposition models
• Experimental studies on temporal connectives

Academic Activities span lectures at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, contributions to Genericity (Oxford University Press), and collaborative studies with leading institutions like ILLC Amsterdam and Institut Jean-Nicod.
