CARDELLA Valentina

My degree was in Philosophy at the University of Palermo (my thesis topic was language in schizophrenia). I began studying cognitive psychology and psycopathology as a postgraduate at the University of Palermo. On 2002 I started my PhD thesis entitled "Schizophrenia, subjectivity and language". My PhD work examined whether an impairment of language mechanisms at the semantic and pragmatic level might contribute to the symptoms that are characteristic of schizophrenia. After completing my PhD in 2006, I commenced a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (2006-2008) at the University of Messina, Department of Cognitive Sciences. On October 2023 I became full professor of Philosophy of language at the Department of Cognitive Sciences of Messina. I am currently Chair of Psycopathology of language, Philosophy of Language and Philosophy of Mind at the University of Messina, Department of Cognitive Sciences.
