His research interests include formal and comparative linguistics, within the theoretical framework of generative grammar; more specifically, his scientific activity ranges from comparative to dialectal syntax, both in a synchronic and in a diachronic perspective, with a particular focus on phenomena involving the left periphery of the clause and the syntax-pragmatics interface.
He has delivered talks at numerous conferences and workshops both in Italy and abroad.
He is a member of the scientific board of the journals Grammatica & Didattica and Quaderni di Lavoro ASIt; he is a member of the editorial board of the journals Annali di Ca' Foscari. Serie Occidentale and Rivista di Grammatica Generativa/Research in Generative Grammar.

He took part in the joint research projects Minimal elements of linguistic variation (between the CNR-Centro di Studio per la Dialettologia Italiana of Padua and the French CNRS) and Dialectology and formal syntax -The microvariation of sentence types (between the French CNRS and the Ca' Foscari University of Venice).
He took part in the following PRIN research projects: Le strutture gerarchiche funzionali della frase e degli altri sintagmi maggiori, Le categorie funzionali della frase e dei suoi sintagmi maggiori, Teoria, sperimentazione, applicazioni: le dipendenze a distanza nelle forme di diversità linguistica.
He also took part in the following research projects: ItalAnt: per una grammatica dell'italiano antico, Prosynt - Prosodia e sintassi: un database per un'interfaccia flessibile, FIRB - Un'inchiesta grammaticale sui dialetti italiani: ricerca sul campo, gestione dei dati, analisi linguistica, GRAVO - Grammatica del Veneto delle Origini, RUM - Rethinking, Understanding Modal particles.
