Prof Marco Marelli

Marco Marelli is a full professor of General Psychology at the University of Milano-Bicocca, Milano, Italy. His works focus on the psychology of language and memory, and in particular on the varying involvement of semantics in a number of different processes, and the interface between language, sensorimotor experience and the conceptual system. In his research he combines methods from experimental psychology, cognitive neuroscience and computational linguistics. He is currently principal investigator of the ERC project "BraveNewWord", dedicated to the semantics of unfamiliar words as emerging from compositionality (at the level of both sentences and morphologically complex words) and systematicity (in a statistical learning perspective).
