Estratègies discursives iròniques en la narrativa catalana actual: l'autoconsciència textual
2010
A partir de textos de Jesús Moncada, Quim Monzó, Carme Riera, Ramon Solsona i Sergi Pàmies, l'article analitza l'existència en la narrativa breu catalana actual d'una tendència que es caracteritza per l'ús dels recursos de la metaficció, adaptats als interessos literaris i a l'estil de cada autor però amb una orientación general compartida. Es tracta d'una tendència de clar signe antirealista i amb plena consciència de textualitat que fa explícits els mecanismes de la ficció; una modalitat de discurs irònic que s'interroga sobre les possibilitats i els límits de representació del real i, en definitiva, sobre allò que entenem per realitat. Departing from some texts by Jesús Moncada, Quim Mon…
Le varianti d’autore in "Asterusher" di Michele Mari
2021
Nel 2019 Michele Mari pubblica una seconda edizione del fototesto Asterusher. Autobiografia per feticci, con l’aggiunta di sedici pagine. La riscrittura diventa innanzitutto una ricomposizione grafica e una nuova disposizione delle pagine, la cui sequenza si dimostra un ampliamento, grazie ad alcune necessarie integrazioni, oppure un’intensificazione di nuclei tematici, sviluppati soprattutto a partire dalle relazioni genitoriali che erano state al centro di Leggenda privata. Il contributo propone lo studio di alcune varianti d’autore e delle loro funzioni nell’archivio fototestuale autobiografico degli oggetti pregnanti di Michele Mari. In 2019 Michele Mari publishes a second edition of th…
Language as a Value in a Pragmatic World: Global and National Approach
2021
The article deals with the perception of language and languages in the economy-oriented contemporary world and its specific features in such language-centered countries as Latvia. Two main levels could be discussed concerning the ‘intellectual’, ‘symbolic’ and practical treatment of language: a global (supra-national) and a national one. In majority of countries special laws have been adopted or national level programs have been enacted in order to protect the most significant elements of respective national identities – folklore, traditional ways of life, beliefs and languages in particular. At the beginning of the 21st century, economic and political goals of the European Union have been …
Das zweifache Komplementierersystem im Zimbrischen: Romanische Entlehnung und Eigenentwicklung
2018
Cimbrian is a German(ic) minority language which has long been in contact with Romance varieties in the Northeast of Italy and represents an ideal object of analysis for investigating some specific issues in language contact, such as the borrowing of functional words. In this article, we first provide a detailed description of the Cimbrian subordination system putting forward an analysis of both the Romance loanword ke and the native complementizer az; secondly, we try to generalize the concept of ‘functional loanword’ comparing Cimbrian with typologically different languages. In a nutshell, we propose a common grammaticalization path, by which functional words borrowed from a model languag…
Deciding properties of integral relational automata
1994
This paper investigates automated model checking possibilities for CTL* formulae over infinite transition systems represented by relational automata (RA). The general model checking problem for CTL* formulae over RA is shown undecidable, the undecidability being observed already on the class of Restricted CTL formulae. The decidability result, however, is obtained for another substantial subset of the logic, called A-CTL*+, which includes all ”linear time” formulae.
Minimal Büchi Automata for Certain Classes of LTL Formulas
2009
In this paper we calculate the minimal number of states of Buchi automata which encode some classes of linear temporal logic (LTL) formulas that are frequently used in model checking. Our results may be used for verification of the quality of algorithms which automatically translate LTL formulas into Buchi automata and for improving the quality and speed of such translators. In the last section of this paper we compare our lower-bound estimations to Buchi automata generated by two currently used translators: LTL2BA and SPOT.
Star-free trace languages
1992
Abstract Generalizing a classical result of Schutzenberger to free partially commutative monoids, we prove that the family of star-free trace languages coincides with the family of aperiodic trace languages.
Perspectives on Language and Linguistics
2021
The scientific interests of Lucio Melazzo have been addressed to diverse research fields, from ancient to modern Indo-European languages, from etymology to formal syntax, from history of linguistics to studies on ancient Greek philosophers. On occasion of his retirement from his university activities, we have decided to offer him this volume, which gathers the contributions of many distinguished scholars who have accepted to participate in this project. We appreciate that the variety of the book contents reflects the variety of Lucio Melazzo’s own interests.

Enhanced query processing for NoSQL crowdsourcing systems
2014
In this paper, we provide a novel approach for effectively and efficiently support query processing tasks in novel NoSQL crowdsourcing systems. The idea of our method is to exploit the social knowledge available from reviews about products of any kind, freely provided by customers through specialized web sites. We thus define a NoSQL database system for large collections of product reviews, where queries can be expressed in terms of natural language sentences whose answers are modeled as lists of products ranked based on the relevance of reviews w.r.t. the natural language sentences. The best ranked products in the result list can be seen as the best hints for the user based on crowd opinio…
