Biography

Federico Gobbo studied Communication New Media at the University of Torino, Italy, obtaining his Master's degree in 1997. In 2000, he worked as a Laboratory Assistant at the University of Milano, Italy, and participated in a post-Master’s program in Digital Humanities. He received an Italian research grant for e-learning from the University of Insubria, Varese-Como, Italy, and completed his PhD in Computer Science in 2009, focusing on adpositional grammars. Gobbo has a diverse research interest that covers areas of Linguistics, Philosophy, and Computing. His primary research focus is on planned languages, including International Auxiliary Languages like Esperanto and Volapük, as well as constructed fictional languages such as Klingon from Star Trek. He also examines sociolinguistic traits of lesser-used minority languages, their revitalization processes, and language rights issues within the context of multilingualism and language policy planning. He has held positions at various universities, including the University of Amsterdam and the University of Turin, where he has engaged in significant interdisciplinary projects. His contributions to the field have been recognized through awards such as the Sejong Prize for Linguistics in 2013 and the Lapenna Prize for his Master's thesis in Interlinguistics.
