Biography
Ms Efrosini Deligianni has an extensive educational background on theoretical linguistics with a research interest on language change, discourse pragmatics and cognitive-linguistic processing. Her future research aspirations lie with a cognitive neuroscience of language. She is currently placed as an intern at the New Media Lab (NML) unit of FWC, which she joined with great enthousiasm since it combines the implementation of New Technologies in Language Learning, a fascinating and pioneering avenue of research, with an ultimate goal of imparting social change. The first project that she is more actively involved in is a proposal for a Youth in Action (YiA) programme under Subaction 1.3 on Youth Democracy Projects entitled “Using democratic dialogue to reinvent democracy”.
Education and Work Experience
Ms Deligianni has earned a BA in English Language and Linguistics (combined major) from Lancaster University (UK) and a European MA in Linguistics from the University of Manchester (UK) and Freie Universität (Germany).
