Roberto Zamparelli

Roberto Zamparelli is an Associate Professor at the University of Trento in both the Department of Psychology and Cognitive Science and the Center for Mind/Brain Sciences (CIMeC). His research spans theoretical and computational linguistics with a focus on syntax-semantics interface phenomena.

His research interests include formal semantics, distributional semantics, computational models of language, and linguistic education. He has supervised multiple PhD theses and contributed to interdisciplinary projects combining linguistics with cognitive science.

The 15 most recent articles (2013-2024) demonstrate consistent focus on partitive structures, multimodal language models, semantic knowledge evaluation, and multilingualism effects. Key subfields include ellipsis mechanisms, cross-linguistic analysis, and neural network linguistic testing.

• Marie Curie Post-Doctoral Fellowship (1997-1999)
• British Academy 'Joint Activity Grant' (2000)
• Patent: Dispositivo didattico per l’apprendimento o l’esercizio nell’uso di strutture linguistiche (2016)

Students supervised include Eva Vecchi, Rossella Varvara, and Sara Zanellini. His work integrates computational methods with theoretical linguistics, supported by grants like the PRIN REPLAI project (2023-25) and EU Atheme collaboration (2014-19).
