Davide Simone Giannoni is Associate Professor of English (Language and Linguistics) at the University of Bergamo, Italy, whose Centre for Research on Languages for Specific Purposes (CERLIS) he helped to establish in 1999. He holds a PhD in Applied Linguistics from the University of Reading, an M.A. in Linguistics (TESOL) from the University of Surrey and is a former Morley Scholar of the University of Michigan’s English Language Institute. His research interests focus on the linguistic analysis of English academic, legal and business discourse, approached both synchronically and contrastively.

He is co-editor of Language Studies Working Papers and assistant editor of The European English Messenger. In recent years he has acted as an external referee for a number of peer-reviewed journals (English for Specific Purposes; Journal of English for Academic Purposes; Ibérica; Issues in Applied Linguistics; Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology) as well as assisting in the organisation of several international conferences in Italy and abroad.
