Claudia Albanese received her first vocational training in Translation and Interpretation at the University of Lecce, Italy. She contributed to integrating content and language in ESP learning with the help of ICT, by performing corpus-driven analysis and extraction of specialized -legal- terminology from a 10 billion words corpus she compiled and POS-tagged. She worked at the Secretariat General of the European Parliament, managing IATE - InterActive Terminology for Europe- an inter-institutional online database for specialized terminology in 23 languages. Her early interest in formal, computational and applied linguistics and semantics developed into a concern for interactional and communication theories. She graduated from the Master in Learning and Development in Multilingual and Multicultural Contexts at the UL, conducting a micro-interactional, systemic analysis of language alternation and modality shift as performed by youngsters in semi-educational contexts. She is currently interested in second language acquisition. Her doctoral project aims to provide a structural and interactional analysis of learner language development. She analyses the role of non-verbal interfaces and L1 interference in learner language development.
