Author Information

Alessandro Aru earned his PhD in English Linguistics from the University of Pisa, Italy. He is currently teaching Business English at the Economics Department of the University of Pisa, Italy. With a keen interest in Pragmatics, Discourse Analysis, and Cognitive Linguistics, his research delves into the intricacies of figurative language through the lens of Complex Adaptive Systems. His published works explore the conceptual structures underlying the comprehension of extended metaphor, the interplay between frame shifting and satire, and the identification of irony markers in political discourse across platforms like Twitter and British newspapers. Alessandro's comparative studies also shed light on the nuanced use of ironic language in both Italian and British contexts.
