My main interests in Philosophy of Language have always kept peeking over the fence: from the boundaries between semantics and pragmatics, the debate between contextualism and relativism, to evaluatives and faultless disagreements, I have always wondered about the connections between language and what is left unsaid, unstated emotions and attitudes. My current main interest is on slurs and derogatory language. I am working on a comprehensive theory that, launching from a pluralistic approach to their meaning, is able to explain why these expressions are taboo or socially unacceptable in most cultures. You can find some of my publications here. I am also interested in the semantics and ontology of fictional terms, context-sensitivity and theories of reference, and more generally, on value theory, feminist philosophy and philosophy of mind.
