Giuseppe Varaschin is a postdoctoral researcher in Project A04: Building Register into the Architecture of Language — An HPSG Account within the framework of the SFB 1412 Register: Language-Users’ Knowledge of Situational-Functional Variation. He was formerly a Humboldt Research Fellow hosted at the same institution.

Giuseppe’s primary research interests are syntactic theory, the syntax-semantics interface, register, Romance syntax, Germanic syntax and the philosophy of linguistics. He is also interested in developing computer-processable grammar fragments as a way of checking the formal consistency and large-scale empirical adequacy of theoretical proposals. His current work concerns the formal modelling of constraints on anaphoric relations and intra-individual syntactic variation in the framework of Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG). He has previously worked on the formalization of a parallel architecture of grammar, where syntax, semantics and phonology are treated as independent combinatorial systems.
