Состав / Members

Full professor for Slavic Philology and Russian Linguistics at Padova University, where she began her academic career after graduating there in 1973. In 1987 she became associate professor for Slavic Philology at Trieste University and in 2002, again at Padova, extraordinary and finally ordinary professor, until October 2019, until October 2019, when she retired.

From 2000 until 2006 she taught also "Philologie et linguistique russes" at Geneva University.

Her fields of interest are Russian linguistics and comparative Slavic linguistics and she does research into synchronic as well as diachronic topics. Apart from the history of Russian language (especially about the evolution of the use of courtesy forms), she has published studies on Slavic morphosyntax, on verbal aspect (with special reference to the imperative), and on language contact, in particular on contact between Slavic and Romance as evidenced in the Slovene dialects spoken in eastern Friuli.
