Shining castles and humans of metal/floral appearance ? metaphorical language in the Palaiologan romances Kallimachos and Velthandros
2019
About eight centuries after Heliodorus, the Greek novel resurfaced in the twelfth century, in Komnenian Byzantium, and again two centuries later under the Palaiologan dynasty. This latter literary revival was due to the political stability of the imperial Byzantine government, which promoted cultural production, rhetorical education, and patronage networks. Kallimachos and Velthandros, two Palaiologan romances presented as court literature, combine ancient and medieval tropes with rhetorical artistry to blur the boundaries between the artificial and the natural. Castles and objects made of precious metals thus resemble living, natural spaces, and human characters are portrayed in metallurgi…

Algunos episodios de la vida de Alejandro en la literatura medieval latina y romance
2015
La fuente clásica principal de la tradición medieval latina y vernácula de la vida de Alejandro Magno es la Historia de Alejandro de Quinto Curcio, principal referencia de la epopeya medieval Alexandreis de Gautier de Châtillon, que influyó grandemente a su vez en el Libro de Alexandre. Otra rama de la tradición la representa el Pseudo-Calístenes y sus traducciones latinas medievales, de Julio Valerio y del Arcipreste León de Nápoles. El estudio de algunos episodios significativos de la vida del emperador macedonio en diversas obras medievales latinas y vernáculas servirá para ponerlas en relación con esta doble tradición, la primera más histórica y la segunda novelesca. The main classical …
Pseudo-relatives and their left-periphery
2016
In this article I propose a new analysis of Pseudo-Relative clauses ('PRs') within the Cartographic model (Rizzi 1997 a.o.). Heretofore, the apparently contradictory behaviour of PRs in the syntactic tests used to determine their structure has been very problematic. Based on new data from Italian, I show that PRs are Small Clauses with a ForceP projection. Moreover, I explain the inconsistent results of the syntactic tests by claiming that PRs can be embedded in different syntactic environments. More specifically, they can be inserted as 'bare' Small Clauses into the matrix clause or be part of a bigger structure: i.e., a Complex-DP, a locative adjunction or a 'Larsonian' structure.
Introduzione al Manuale di linguistica ladina
2020
Il capitolo presenta le finalità e la struttura del Manuale di linguistica ladina. In particolare, si discutono le principali questioni definitorie riguardo al glottonimo ed etnonimo ladino, si giustifica la delimitazione del ladino brissinotirolese, oggetto del Manuale, mediante una combinazione di criteri sia di linguistica interna che esterna, che vengono illustrati singolarmente, e infine si prospettano alcuni desiderata nell’ambito della ricerca scientifica sul ladino. This chapter discusses the aims and the structure of the Manuale di linguistica ladina. It focuses in particular on the main classifying issues about "Ladin" used as language name as well as ethnic defiinition; on the co…

Fautes musicales et fautes textuelles dans les lais lyriques transmis par les chansonniers du Roi (M) et de Noailles (T)
2020
In this contribution we shall present some anomalies in the musical notation of the anonymous lyric lais transmitted by French chansonniers M and T (i.e. Kievrefoil, Markiol and Nompar), which share the same source, and to which a recently discovered chansonnier fragment (Bo) can be added. The plural attestation of these heterostrophic texts allows to nuance the strict notion of musical error, advocated by John H. Marshall for this very corpus. Finally, we discuss an interesting case (Nompar, str. X) where musical notation can effectively help the reconstruction of a text corrupted in both witnesses.
Giraldi e Pigna sui romanzi: una polemica in contesto
2013
The essay reconstructs the polemic between Giraldi and Pigna as a generational and ideological gap: Giraldi and Pigna are seen in their dialogue with their literary interlocutors (Castelvetro, Speroni, Bocchi), against the background of the historical transition from humanistic culture, founded on the primacy of history and trust in nature, to a new philosophical culture, characterized by a disposition towards allegory and a process of professionalization of intellectual works.
La costruzione 'con + DP + pseudorelativa': proposta per una duplice interpretazione
2015
This chapter deals with the so-called "absolute construction", an adverbial prepositional phrase headed by the preposition 'con' ('with') followed by a noun and a pseudo-relative clause (e.g. "Con Maria che piange, non possiamo uscire"). The main aim of the chapter is to show that Pseudo-relative clauses can have three different structures, and that two different types are used in the absolute construction, depending on the degree of syntactic integration of the prepositional phrase in the main clause. Fronted 'con'-clauses select a pseudo-relative clause with clausal status (CP), while sentence-final 'con'-clauses, which are more integrated, select a pseudo-relative clause with nominal sta…
