Is it possible to identify linguistic indicators of resilience in discourse produced by professionals working in high risk situations, for example military pilots, firefighters, healthcare professionals working in emergency settings?

​

This line of research is being developed in collaboration with Maria Gabriella Pediconi, Glauco Maria Genga and Michela Brunori.

​

 

This collaboration has produced the following publications and conference papers:
