Maître des conférences en langue et linguistique française à l’Université de Sassari (Italie), où il est responsable FLE au Département de Sciences Humaines et Sociales (DUMAS) ainsi que responsable de la licence en Médiation Linguistique et culturelle (L12) depuis juin 2021.

Il a été Professeur invité à l’Université Montpellier3 (2015), à l’Université de Haute-Alsace (2017) et à l’Université de Corse (2022).
Ses travaux portent sur la variation dans le français contemporain, notamment sur la stylisation cinématographique des pratiques langagières des jeunes urbains (sociolinguistique). Il s’intéresse aussi à la représentation de la Sardaigne dans le discours touristique français, papier et en ligne, ainsi qu’au rapport entre langues minoritaires et tourisme, notamment à la marchandisation du sarde dans la promotion touristique. Dans ce cas, l’approche adoptée s’inscrit à la croisée de l’analyse du discours et de la sociolinguistique.
Il est responsable du projet de recherche « Plurilinguisme, patrimoine culturel et développement durable », financé par la Fondation de Sardaigne (année 2022-2023), ainsi que de l’unité de recherche de l’Université de Sassari au sein du projet national PRIN 2022 « Communicating minority languages in multilingual settings. Between (virtual) linguistic landscape and policy, language contact and variation, speech and writing ». Il fait partie du groupe de recherche de l’Université de Sassari dans le cadre du Plan National de Relance et Résilience (PNRR), qui s’inscrit plus globalement, au niveau européen, dans le plan de relance NextGenerationEU, et qui va durer jusqu’en décembre 2025. Dans le cadre du «Spoke02» « Innovation and sustainability for the competitiveness of tourism and cultural heritage SMEs in marginal markets », il est notamment responsable d’un projet de recherche intitulé « Local food and beverage production, territory and market: communicating the image of products and local places ».
Il est actif également dans la formation des enseignant.e.s de FLE. Il a coorganisé les journées Le Français en action en Sardaigne (Cagliari et Sassari, 22-23 février 2024) et participé en tant que formateur aux Journées Pédagogiques pour l’enseignement du francais, organisées par l’Institut francais Italia en collaboration avec l’Université de Naples L’Orientale (11 et 12 septembre 2023) et aux journées La francophonie n’est pas un exotisme, organisées par la Fédération des Alliances Françaises d’Italie (20 décembre 2021, en ligne).
