Il dialetto su Facebook. Identità, riflessioni (meta)linguistiche e nuovi usi sulle pagine campanilistiche palermitane
2016
Il presente contributo si propone di analizzare alcune pagine Facebook che cercano di ricreare, all’interno di una realtà comunitaria “a maglie larghe” e a-territoriale (proprio perché virtuale), l’identità dei cittadini di Palermo. Si tratta di pagine campanilistiche che sviluppano i propri contenuti attraverso la pubblicazione di post corredati di testi e/o immagini che richiamano evidenti istanze linguistiche e costumi socioculturali condivisi e (ri)conosciuti dagli abitanti del luogo. All’interno di questo tentativo di costruire un’autoctonia tutta palermitana, gli aspetti che verranno esaminati sono: I) i riferimenti a luoghi urbani, i quali, lungi dall’essere scelti arbitrariamente, a…
Micellization properties of cardanol as a renewable co-surfactant
2015
With the aim to improve the features of surfactant solutions in terms of sustainability and renewability we propose the use of hydrogenated natural and sustainable plant-derived cardanol as an additive to com- mercial surfactants. In the present study we demonstrated that its addition, in amounts as high as 10%, to commercial surfactants of different charge does not significantly affect surfactant properties. Conversely, the presence of hydrogenated cardanol can strongly affect spectrophotometric determination of CMC if preferential interactions with the dyes used take place. This latter evidence may be profitably exploited in surfactant manufacturing by considering that the concurrent pres…
Health Querying in the Digital Era. The Language of Health 2.0
2015
This book deals with the linguistic resources used in e-heath, in particular in the dialogue between specialists and e-patients as well as among users in e-forums. Traditional d/p exchanges have self-adapted to create new forms, and have evolved into a different product entirely. After establishing the area within the concept of e-health and the reasons why it is important to talk about this phenomenon, the book reports some analyses that show different aspects of these online exchanges. Starting from genre, linguistic features and dialogic markers, it continues on considerations on role postions and credibility as well as on legitimation of trust.
Online trends, linguistic innovation and further implications in the language of the online consultation: a case study
2016
Integrating a corpus linguistic approach with content analysis and studies on computer mediated health discourse (Harvey and Koteyko, 2013), this study analyses the role of technology in healthcare communication and considers the evolutions in the doctor-patient exchange. Considering interactional norms, and the new literacy of online forum users (Jensen, Fage-Butler, 2014), this study investigates the trends and the linguistic patterns as well as the nature of digital doctor-patient exchanges in online question/ answer format frames, since specification of roles has changed and linguistic exchanges have evolved into different outcomes. In addition, the medium imposes its norms and a totall…
