My research combines, from a glottological perspective, expertise across a broad diachronic and typological spectrum. I investigate marginal areas of the Roman Empire as loci of variation and identity, reflected in epigraphic data understood as enunciative acts. I also explore other grammars (a priori, isolated, non-Indo-European languages) and the evidentiary uses of language in forensic contexts, within a transdisciplinary metalinguistic framework.
