Behind the institutional identity: shifting from we-clusters to I-clusters in diplomatic discourse
2011
As research on subjectivity has already shown (Bühler 1934; Mushin 2001), speakers do not just neutrally and mechanically describe states and affairs in the world sorting to objective and prefabricated linguistic formulations, but their personal identity sometimes crops up through a range of viewpoints. This paper is both a contribution to the literature on diplomatic discourse seen as the expression of the foreign policy of a country (Marshall 1990) and to the representation of political identities in specialized discourse (Fairclough 2003). The Diplomatic Corpus (DiCo), investigated in this study, comprises all the speeches delivered by the three British foreign ministers (Cook, Straw and…

2018
Gli uomini da sempre sono coinvolti in pratiche narrative. L'articolo discute questa attitudine al raccontare storie mettendola in relazione al bisogno cognitivo da cui nasce. E proponendo di collegarla alla necessita cognitiva di costruire un racconto coerente della nostra storia: la nostra autobiografia.
'Ineptiae' da commedia: tra Plauto e Terenzio
2015
In de oratore cicero affirms that whoever acts inadequately to the times, to the places and to the people behaves like an ineptus. in the comic plots there is a special link between love and ineptia, stressed primarily by the sweetheart’s inability to control his behaviour and especially his words. this survey focuses in particular on the Plautus’ Mercator and on the terence’s Eunuchus.

QUASI QUIDAM ORNATUS VITAE. Il decorum nel de officiis di Cicerone
2013
The theory of decorum in Cicero’s de officiis (44 BC) seems to suggest to the Romans not simply the fourth virtue of a general system of conduct, but a super-virtue able to act as a “shock absorber” in the exercise of social and political life, summarized in a principle that Cicero defines as verecundiae partes, that is non offendere homines. Thus, while Romans citizens suffer the most radical crisis of their history, he indicates the decorum as the backbone of the complex architecture that constitutes the common good. In this paper I argue that Cicero’s contribution to the political and theoretical discussion on justice and respect may bring a very helpful tool for rethinking critically th…
Communication design for culture. Languages to allow a dialogue between assets, territories and users / Il design della comunicazione per la cultura.…
2011
Il tema della comunicazione della cultura è di estrema attualità e importanza, ma anche in continua trasformazione come si evince in particolar modo da tre fattori rilevanti, che riguardano direttamente gli attori principali: una progressiva apertura degli enti e delle istituzioni culturali verso il sistema dei fruitori; una continua riorganizzazione della struttura dei patrimoni secondo criteri consolidati ma anche possibili contaminazioni; una crescente domanda di cultura da parte dei fruitori stessi, abbinata a una loro maggiore disponibilità in termini di tempo, di spostamenti, di istanze. Il design della comunicazione visiva e i suoi strumenti progettuali (che si estendono dai sistemi …
Defence strategies in an online community of caregivers
2021
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand caregivers’ discursive constructions and responses to their unwanted (family and social) role as resulting in exchanges on social media. Online group platforms are understood as particularly suitable for the expression of intimate feelings among adults, for meeting and exhibiting stigma issues, and for the circulation of information and support (Suler, 2004; McCormack, 2010; Pounds et al., 2018). Design/methodology/approach This paper draws from digital Conversation Analysis (Giles et al., 2015), and considers data after combining quantitative (corpus analysis) and qualitative methods, from a critical discourse analysis perspective. The St…
Language in Complexity. The Emerging Meaning
2017
This contributed volume explores the achievements gained and the remaining puzzling questions by applying dynamical systems theory to the linguistic inquiry. In particular the book is divided into three parts, each one addressing of the following topics: a) Facing complexity in the right way: mathematics and complexity; b) Complexity and theory of language; c) From empirical observation to formal models: investigations of specifici linguistic phenomena, like enunciation, deixis, or the meaning of the metaphorical phrases.
Dalla parte dell'ascoltatore. Un approccio pragma-retorico alla comprensione
2019
L’intento principale del saggio è mostrare quanto possa essere vantaggioso guardare al fenomeno della comprensione linguistica utilizzando l’apparato concettuale della retorica classica, messo in fruttuoso dialogo con la pragmatica contemporanea. La legittimità di tale operazione si fonda sulla convinzione che sia proficuo estendere lo specifico punto di vista della retorica al discorso ordinario nel suo complesso. Tale estensione non implica in alcun modo negare la specificità del punto di vista retorico sul linguaggio ma mira anzi a sfruttarla, per fare emergere aspetti altrimenti poco valorizzati. È vero, infatti, che la retorica si occupa tradizionalmente di un tipo particolare di disco…
Health on the net: the doctor answers
2011
This study is intended to provide new insights into web-based discourse on medical exchanges in doctor-patient communication. The global net system have certainly played an important role in the increase and the following modification of communication dynamics. However, in particular situation such as doctor-patient interviews, computer mediated communication is still a limit. This paper is based on two lines of research in language studies, namely the studies of language corpus and studies of communication in health encounters. The corpus is formed by the medical entries that appeared in biomedical/health service sites. The samples collected were analysed in order to find discourse pattern…
