Marco Bagli

Marco Bagli is a fixed-term researcher (RtdB) in English cognitive linguistics at the University for Foreigners of Perugia. His research explores the relationship between mind, culture, and language from both diachronic and synchronic perspectives. He focuses in particular on the linguistic encoding of sensory perception—especially taste—and investigates cognitive mechanisms such as conceptual metaphor, framing, and salience. He is the author of the monograph Tastes We Live By (Mouton de Gruyter), which was awarded the AIA Junior Book Prize in 2022. He has also published on discourse markers, interjections, and their grammaticalization in Early Modern English. At the University for Foreigners of Perugia, he is currently focusing on the role of English as a Lingua Franca in the global world, with particular attention to multilingualism and translanguaging, especially in the context of migratory processes.
