Roberta Colonna Dahlman is an Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer at Lund University, specializing in Italian Studies and Language Acquisition. She has authored a compilation thesis entitled "Studies on Factivity, Complementation, Propositional Attitudes" consisting of seven papers. Her primary research interests include the syntax and semantics of embedded clauses, presupposition, and knowledge attributions related to factivity and language attrition, focusing specifically on the double complementation system in the Gallipolino dialect of Southern Italy. Currently, she is investigating knowledge attributions and their implications for factivity, emphasizing the semantic ambiguity of the Italian verb 'sa' (to know) in various contexts. Dahlman has contributed to examining properties of cognitive factive verbs across languages. In her postdoctoral research at Stockholm University from September 2017 to January 2020, she explored reasons why 'sapere' (to know) is often construed with semantic ambiguity in comparison to its counterparts in different languages.
