Dr. Fabio Ciambella is Researcher of English at Sapienza University of Rome. Previously, he served as a Research Fellow in the same field at the University of Tuscia in Viterbo, Italy. During his early career, he also held the position of Junior Research Fellow at the University of Tuscia. He earned his European PhD in English Language and Literature from the University of Rome "Tor Vergata" in 2015. His research interests include the intricate relationship between dance and early modern language, historical pragmatics, corpus linguistics, and Second Language Acquisition. In 2013, he authored a book on the subject of dance in nineteenth-century England, examining its portrayal in literature from Jane Austen's novels to Oscar Wilde's "Salome." His PhD thesis, completed in 2015, received prestigious recognition from the Italian Association of English Studies (AIA). The following year saw the publication of his study on dance and its connection to the Copernican Revolution in Shakespeare's canon. Dr. Ciambella's most recent publication, "Dance Lexicon in Shakespeare and His Contemporaries: A Corpus-based Approach" (Routledge, 2021), is a corpus-based analysis of dance-related language in the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Currently, he is in the process of publishing a forthcoming book on teaching English pragmatics with Shakespeare, scheduled for release by Cambridge University Press.
