Emanuela cresti ha raccolto corpora di parlato spontaneo italiano e ha diretto progetti nazionali e internazionali. In Particolare ha coordinato il progetto C-ORAL-ROM (IST2000-26228) cha ha realizzato in FP/5 un archivio multimediale di parlato spontaneo per le principali lingue romanze. I suoi interessi scientifici riguardano la grammatical e più specificamente la relazione tra atti linguistici e prosodia. Ha sviluppato un quadro teorico per lo studio della prosodia che permette l’identificazione, attraverso proprietà prosodiche, delle unità funzionali del parlato (E. Cresti, Corpus di Italiano Parlato, Accademia della Crusca, 2000). In questo quadro ha realizzato molte pubblicazioni in vari domini (lingua parlata, grammatical del parlato, grammatical contrastive, acquisizione del linguaggio, modellizzazione prosodica, corpus linguistics).
