Main research activities
The typological study of Asian and African languages, the description of minority languages, Ecolinguistics, Sociolinguistics and language policies, contact phenomena, Historical Linguistics and the study of autochthonous grammar traditions. The study of the religions and philosophies of the various areas aims to combine different methodological approaches, to study the interactions which exist between different cultural areas and to suggest a theoretical valorisation of them, always keeping in mind that original languages are central when studying the thought.
