Progetti di lessicografia onomastica dell’Atlante Linguistico della Sicilia

2022

L’Atlante Linguistico della Sicilia ha adottato, già una decina di anni fa, lo strumento del dizionario-atlante.

2019

Nowadays the names and bynames of pop-groups and musicians are more and more characterized by multiple, differentiated onomaturgical solutions which allow us to explore and comprehend current linguistic and cultural trends as well as the metalinguistic awareness/competence of authors and «users» of the music industry.
