👋🏼 Hi, I’m Ivan

👨🏻‍💻 I’m a final year PhD student in Linguistics at the Univeristy of Bologna.

🔬 I’m mostly interested in derivational (especially evaluative) morphology, lexical and morphosemantics and quantitative/computational approaches to language.

✍🏼 I have recently submitted my PhD thesis, which applies a broad range of quantitative and computational methods to investigate affix rivalry in Italian evaluative morphology, with a specific focus on intensifying prefixes. I am expecting to defend in March 2026.
