-<fs small>1. The projects [[https://www.unine.ch/ilcf/home/ilcf/recherche.html#cidc84aa41d-dc72-4d46-b127-294c6e08359e|Methods of annotation and exploitation of paraliterary corpora for analysis in diachronic linguistics]] (Prof. Carine Skupien, Institute of French Language and Civilization) project targets the analysis and semi-automatic exploitation of text corpora of pre-classical and classical French, in a diachronic linguistic approach, history of paraliterary genres and discourse analysis in diachrony. This project has resulted into several [[https://www.unine.ch/ilcf/home/ilcf/recherche.html#cid7d2a85ab-7b40-48ac-aec0-c452a8b7096f|audio documents]] useful for teaching French as foreign language. </fs>

-<fs small>2.The argumentative patterns of modal forms. A corpus based study comparing French and Italian (Prof. Corinne Rossari, Institute of French linguistics). The goal of this SNSF funded project is to identify and describe all possible argumentative patterns for modal forms in two Romance languages, French and Italian, in genres representing informative discourse and at different diachronic stages of the language: the 20th/21st, 19th and 18th centuries. By exploiting the resources of digital humanities, adopting a corpus-based approach and using statistical methods and calculations, we intend to provide a synchronic, diachronic and comparative cross-language representation of how the inherent features of modal forms and the argumentative patterns in which these forms preferentially appear influence each other in informational discourse.</fs>
-\\
-<fs small>3.A world of possibilities. Modal pathways over an extra-long period of time: the diachrony of modality in the Latin language - WoPoss (Prof. Francesca Dell’Oro, Institute of Language Sciences, the SNSF Team in Historical Linguistics). The WoPoss project aims at reconstructing the evolution of modal meanings from the prehistory of the Latin language up to the 7th century CE. The WoPoss corpus consists of texts that are selected in terms of representativeness in order to track the variations in the uses of modal markers: the diversity of text types guarantees that any potential source of knowledge about (socio-)linguistic variation is covered. </fs>
-\\
-<fs small>4. Latin and French corpora: a factory for access to knowledge representation (Prof. Francesca Dell’Oro and Prof. Corinne Rossari, Institute of Language Sciences). The keystone of this project,  funded by the Empiris foundation (Jakob Wüest funding), is the creation of comparable corpora in Latin and French from which it will be possible to study the way in which knowledge is represented in both languages. Modality will receive a close examination; thus, these corpora will contain analytical information concerning the grammatical and lexical features that codify the attitude of the speakers in relation to their utterances. The corpora will be published in a support that will enable systematic queries and statistical analyses.</fs>
-\\
-<fs small>5.Interplay of word formation and syntax: Nominalisation strategies in verbonominal constructions and secondary prepositions (Prof. Elena Smirnova, Institute of German Language and Literature). The project aims to investigate the nominalisations themselves and the complex constructions with these nominalisations in order to uncover important and systematic connections between these phenomena. </fs>
-\\
-<fs small>6.Temporality and Verbal Inflectional Morphology in French: How Does Inflectional Marking Reflect Abilities in Time Reference? (Prof. Marion Fossard, Institute of Speech Therapy Sciences). The project aims to investigate the processes that make it possible to transform extralinguistic, conceptual information (related to temporality) into grammatical information related to the conjugation of verbs, i.e. the fact of associating the appropriate verb ending with the verb. The target populations studied are Alzheimer and aphasic patients. The project is carried out in collaboration with McGill University, CHUV and the University of Geneva.  </fs>
-\\
-<fs small>7.The role of theory of mind in generating feedback in dialogue (Prof. Marion Fossard, Institute of Speech Therapy Sciences). The project’s aim is to identify factors that may enhance or inhibit the production of feedback during the interaction, such as the theory of mind. The working hypothesis will be that an individual with a good theory of mind capacity is able to identify the moments and situations where his/her dialogue partner needs to receive feedback - directly contributing to the success of the interaction. Conversely, an individual with poorer theory of mind skills is less able to identify the times and situations when their dialogue partner needs to receive feedback - potentially leading to the failure of the interaction. The project is carried out in collaboration with the University of Lille, the University of Laval and the University of Poitiers. </fs>
-\\
-<fs small>8.Validation and normalization of the Italian and German version of the DTLA (Detection Test for Language Impairments (Prof. Marion Fossard, Institute of Speech Therapy Sciences). DTLA is a screening tool available for French, which allows to identify the presence of a language disorder more rapidly and also more precisely in adults with neurodegenerative disorders. The project aims to validate and standardize the DTLA in two of the official Swiss languages: German and Italian. The project is carried out in collaboration with FORS, Luzerner Kantonspital, Spitalzemtrum Biel, University of Laval. </fs>

-<fs small>9. Crocodile (Prof. Katrin Skoruppa, Institute of Speech Therapy Sciences). The project aims to investigate the language acquisition strategies, the communication skills, and the socio-emotional and cognitive development of monolingual and multilingual children, as well as the links between these different domains. The project is carried out in collaboration with the University of Basel,  the University of Bern and the University of Würzburg.</fs>
-\\
-<fs small>10. Predicting language outcomes in monolingual and bilingual children from processing measures in infancy: Towards a new tool for evaluating risk of language disorders in late-talking children (Prof. Katrin Skoruppa, Institute of Speech Therapy Sciences). The aim of this project is to examine the relationship between these early skills and later language development in monolingual and multilingual children. It follow children from families speaking one or more languages from the age of 10 months to 3 years. The children’ ability to understand and produce sounds, words and sentences, and to learn new language structures is periodically measured through eye-tracker tasks, parental questionnaire data, and picture naming activities. The children’s early communication skills (e.g. language precursors such as gestures and joint attention) in a parent-infant exchange are also examined. The project is carried out in collaboration with the HE-Arc Neuchâtel.</fs>
-\\
-<fs small>11.Pragmatics meets epistemic vigilance: Explaining the development of irony comprehension (Prof. Diana Mazzarella, Institute of Communication and Cognition. SNSF Eccellenza Grant 2020-2025). The project aims to investigate the social cognition of language with a specific focus on verbal irony and attitude expression. First, it examines the developmental trajectory of the human ability to track others’ vigilance in the process of acquiring and propagating reliable information. Second, it investigates the role of this ability in scaffolding sophisticated communicative interactions, such as those involving verbal irony. The project is carried out in collaboration with University College London.  </fs>
