galimbertiValeria Galimberti è assegnista di ricerca all’Università di Milano-Bicocca nell’ambito del progetto “Gender bias in language: testing INClusive ITalian language feasibility and impact” (INCITӘ), sotto la supervisione della Prof. Francesca Foppolo.

Ha ottenuto un dottorato in scienze cognitive del linguaggio presso l’Università di Barcellona, con un progetto di ricerca incentrato sull’apprendimento delle lingue straniere tramite la visione di serie TV in lingua straniera. In particolare, ha indagato gli effetti della manipolazione di parole target nei sottotitoli (textual enhancement) sull’acquisizione della pronuncia inglese. In parallelo, ha collaborato con il gruppo di ricerca guidato dal Prof. Joan Carles Mora, che ha investigato l’impatto dell’insegnamento e di caratteristiche individuali (come l’attenzione e l’ansia) sull’acquisizione della pronuncia.

  • 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."
