On how to legitimately constrain a semantic theory
2021
Abstract Semanticists often restrict their theories by imposing constraints on the parameters that can be employed for interpreting the expressions of a language. Such constraints are based on non-logical features of actual contexts of utterance, but they often have important effects on issues that do pertain to logic, like analyticity or entailment. For example, Kaplan’s restriction to so-called “proper contexts” was required in order to count “I am here now” as valid. In this paper I argue that constraints of this kind are often posited in an arbitrary and non-consistent way, and that they yield the intended results only at the price of imposing ad hoc principles whose justification could…
Fortuna dell’«Alda» di Guglielmo di Blois fra il XII e il XIII secolo: commedie elegiache, “fabliaux” e romanzi cortesi
2018
In questo intervento vengono studiate la fortuna e le imitazioni dell’Alda, commedia elegiaca latina di Guglielmo di Blois (scritta verso il 1169-1170), nella letteratura latina e volgare dei secc. XII e XIII. In particolare, dopo una presentazione generale dell’opera ci si sofferma su alcune commedie elegiache latine successive (Baucis et Traso, De mercatore, De uxore cerdonis di Iacopo da Benevento), su alcuni fabliaux antico-francesi del sec. XIII (Trubert di Douin de Lavesne, Li sohaiz desvez di Jean Bodel, l’anonimo De la damoisele) e sui romanzi di Chrétien de Troyes (Yvain) e di Roberto di Blois (Floris et Lyriopé). L’ultima sezione del lavoro è fondata, infine, sullo studio delle co…
Why we need TI-Oriented Language Learning and Teaching
2021
The teaching of foreign languages to students in Translation and Interpreting (TI) programmes should be framed within the field of Language for Specific Purposes (LSP). This would make it possible to pinpoint specific curricular content and methodological traits that contribute to the enhancement of the communicative competence and initial development of TI competences. This paper analyses the students’ perspectives on L2 teaching in a TI programme and how it should be undertaken to best comply with the linguistic demands imposed by translation and interpreting. A thematic analysis of 117 open questionnaires returned by students from Austria, Slovenia and Spain identified five areas to whic…
CLIL and Literary Education: Teaching Foreign Languages and Literature from an Intercultural Perspective—The Results of a Case Study
2020
This article intends to explore the relationship between CLIL and literary education by considering the results of a case study involving the teaching of foreign literatures from an intercultural perspective in Italian secondary schools. In the first part we introduce a model of literary and intercultural communicative competence and in the second part we present a case study implemented in three secondary schools in Northern Italy. A qualitative research design was implemented and data were collected through interviews with teachers and questionnaires answered by students. The results revealed that while teachers focus on the intercultural dimension of literature only in terms of the expan…

2020
El artículo se propone analizar los diferentes modos de poner en escena personajes y narrativas de apropiadores y apropiadoras en dos obras que formaron parte del primer ciclo de Teatro x la Identidad (Ciudad de Buenos Aires, 2001). Para esto, se estudiará la construcción de un represor y apropiador a través de sus declaraciones públicas reproducidas por la prensa escrita a fines de los años 80; y el uso dramático de aquellas declaraciones en el espectáculo semimontado A propósito de la duda (2000-2001), de Patricia Zangaro que lo convierte a él y a su esposa en personajes de apropiadores representados, irónicamente, como buenos padres de familia. Por otro lado, se examinará la obra Método …

Cross-linguistic influence and the MGM
2020
Abstract Language learning is an interactive, social effort and the role of grammar is no longer focused. Nowadays we consider most language learners to be pluricultural beings aiming at communicative language competence (cf. CEFR 2018) in another language. The role of grammar, thus, plays a subordinate role. Authentic language usage requires the analysis of authentic dialogues (via the Mixed Game Model, MGM) and awareness-raising regarding the phenomenon of language transfer (via Crosslinguistic-influence approaches). These two approaches will be merged within the article – addressed to linguists as well as language teachers.
Sublime and grotesque:exploring the liminal positioning of clowns between oppositional aesthetic categories
2019
The horror clown is a potential rooted in the liminalities that are an integral part of the clown figure per se. Drawing on anthropological work and the study of popular culture, this paper argues that clowns can be placed between different dualistic frames such as the sacred and the profane, the sublime and the grotesque, and fear and disgust. This positioning and the ways in which clowns operate between these categories are transmitted aesthetically. In this paper the dualistic aesthetics and violent potential of clowns is examined through three different clown examples: the ritual clown, the circus clown and the horror clown. Field observations made by Keisalo of the Chapayeka rituals cl…
