Acknowledgments
First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisors Marina Bondi and Donatella Malavasi for their guidance and constructive feedback during the thesis period. Your thoughts and remarks challenged and encouraged me to explore the subject deeper and develop my own analytical tool for the analysis.
I would like to thank the whole class of 2015-2016 because without each and everyone of you it would not have been the same experience. A huge special thanks goes to my friends Eleonora, Roberta, Claudia, Angela, Simone, Dalila and all my friends at the dormitory for making those 2 years in Modena memorable beyond words.
As ever, I am grateful to my family, who are a wellspring of encouragement and inspire me daily by being unfailing in their support.
