CALaMo: a Construsctionist perspective on the Analysis of linguistic behaviour of Language Models

In recent years, Neural Language Models (NLMs) have consistently demonstrated increasing linguistic abilities. However, the extent to which such networks can actually learn grammar remains an object of investigation, and experimental results are often inconclusive. Notably, the mainstream evaluation framework in which NLMs are tested seems largely based on Generative Grammar and nativist principles, and a shared constructionist approach on the matter has not yet emerged: this is at odds with ...

Essays on the Prelude to the Critique of Economic Theory

This PhD thesis consists of four chapters on different topics in economic theory and empirical applications. The research questions in the first three chapters are principally based on the works of Piero Sraffa. The first chapter discusses the distinction between basic and non-basic commodities in Piero Sraffa's Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities (Sraffa, 1960) and finds that once the distribution of the whole surplus (which includes basic and non-basic goods) is treated as in ...

The connectivity fingerprints of the frontal eye field and the inferior frontal junction

Within the prefrontal cortex, the frontal eye field (FEF) and the inferior frontal junction (IFJ) are crucial regions that mediate attention, working memory, and cognitive control functions. I comprehensively reviewed the neuroimaging evidence on these regions, suggesting that they are specialized in the control of spatial versus non-spatial visual processing, respectively, and hypothesized that their connectivity fingerprints might underlie these roles. To accurately infer the localization o...

Automatic Assessment of L2 Spoken English

In an increasingly interconnected world where English has become the lingua franca of business, culture, entertainment, and academia, learners of English as a second language (L2) have been steadily growing. This has contributed to an increasing demand for automatic spoken language assessment systems for formal settings and practice situations in Computer-Assisted Language Learning. One common misunderstanding about automated assessment is the assumption that machines should replicate the hum...

Racconti di vita da una terra di confine. Valorizzazione dell’Archivio orale della Biblioteca Provinciale Italiana “Claudia Augusta” di Bolzano: le videointerviste del progetto Verba manent (2003-2007)

This thesis proposes a series of methodological suggestions covering all stages of oral history research – from the production to the dissemination of the interviews. It starts from the video interviews collected between 2003 and 2007 by the South Tyrolean historian Giorgio Delle Donne, which constitute the basis of the Oral History Archive of the Italian Provincial Library ‘Claudia Augusta’ (Bolzano). Using both oral history and archival methodology, the thesis retraces the life and the work...
