List of selected publications

• Relevance without existence: Experimenting on blind implicatures with empty domains. «Glossa», 9(1), pp. 1-13, 2024.

^{This work submits evidence that mismatching implicatures are generated including with contextually empty domains and speculates that relevance relations are unconsciously established independently of existential determinations.

• Senso e controsenso. Uno studio filosofico su grammatica e logica delle lingue naturali. Carocci, Roma, 2024.

_{This book contains a thorough discussion of the logicality of language hypothesis, i.e. the idea that grammar is sensitive to the informativeness of linguistic structures, and presents arguments in favor of a formal pragmatics approach. I authored it.}
