Camilla Masullo è assegnista di ricerca all’Università di Milano-Bicocca nell’ambito del progetto “CROSS-linguistic interference in the assignment of meaning during sentence comprehension in bilINGual speakers: investigating semantic and syntactic processing and the case of code-switching” (CROSSING), supervisionato da Beatrice Giustolisi.

Ha conseguito il dottorato di ricerca in scienze cognitive e linguaggio presso l’Universitat Rovira i Virgili sotto la supervisione della Prof. Evelina Leivada e della Prof. Isabel Oltra-Massuet. Il suo progetto si è occupato dell’interazione tra processi cognitivi e fattori sociolinguistici che caratterizzano l’esperienza bilingue. In particolare, si è concentrato sul processing linguistico di illusioni grammaticali in bilingui di lingue standard e non-standard, raccogliendo dati in diverse comunità bidialettali Italiane. In parallelo, ha esaminato il ruolo del registro linguistico sul processing di specifiche strutture morfosintattiche, indagando la possibile interazione tra vari domini linguistici. Prima del dottorato, ha conseguito la laurea magistrale in Linguistica Teorica, Applicata e delle Lingue Moderne presso l’Università degli Studi di Pavia.

  • BIL Seminar "What does atypicality really mean? Language acquisition in autism" - Mikhail Kissine febbraio 10, 2025 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm U6, Sala Lauree, Terzo piano

    Abstract
    "Research on language in autism mostly explores delayed acquisition or atypical use, the reference point being language in non-autistic individuals. Such approaches focus on language disability, but somewhat downplay the acquisition routes that may be specific to autism. More specifically, typical language development is known to be intimately linked to socio-pragmatic, joint communicative experiences. Early-onset and life-long atypicality in the socio-communicative domain are core characteristics of autism, and likely explain why language onset is often significantly delayed in autistic children. However, it is also usually assumed that language trajectories in autism should be correlated with an increase of socio-communicative skills, such as joint attention. In this talk, I will review evidence that some autistic individuals may, in fact, acquire language in spite of persisting strong socio-communicative disabilities. I will also present new results that show that some autistic children are interested in language in and of itself, independently of its communicative function, and display enhanced sensitivity to the acoustic and structural properties of the linguistic input."
