Matteo Di Cristofaro

Matteo Di Cristofaro holds roles as a Research Fellow at the Interdepartmental Research Center on Digital Humanities (DHMoRe) and Contract Professor at the Department of Linguistic and Cultural Studies, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. His research spans Digital Humanities, Corpus Linguistics, and Social Media Analysis with a focus on language variation, forensic discourse, and innovative methodological frameworks.

Key research interests include analyzing language in online platforms (e.g., crypto-drug markets, social media), corpus-based approaches to taboo language, and documenting academic discourse through initiatives like the MoReThesisCorpus. His work integrates computational methods with sociolinguistic theory to explore topics such as green workforce trends, oral history preservation, and digital innovation strategies.

Publications highlight interdisciplinary methodologies, such as combining CADS frameworks with metadata analysis in CV corpora, and examining historical linguistic change through formulaic expressions like 'Good morrow.' He has contributed to understanding trust dynamics in illicit markets and redefining euphemism theory in Italian.
