Novella Tedesco

PhD student in Translation, Interpreting and Intercultural Studies at the University of Bologna since a.y. 2022/2023. 

In 2022 I obtained the Master's Degree in Specialised Translation at the University of Bologna with a final grade of 110/110 cum laude. My thesis investigated the possibilities of using the method of round-trip translation for purposes of linguistic revision. 

In June 2022, I won a post-graduate research scholarship at the University of Bologna and took part in the Erasmus + UpSkills project.

I am tutoring the course in Translation Theory and Practice for the academic year 2024/25.

My current research focuses on translanguaging and linguistic ethnography. My research interests include sociolinguistics, corpus linguistics, NLP, language teaching, intercultural studies, and translation. I'm also leading a research project on BERTScore for quality evaluation of accessibility subtitling services, and a project about the use of corpora for literary analysis and language learning with MA students.
