Funzionamento del codice retorico e contenuti ideologici propri dell’autore: Libanio

2006

Through the internal analysis of Libanius of Antioch's Orations 46, 56 and 57, the work attempted to distinguish between the application and functioning of the rhetorical code and the author's own content, between rhetorical devices and ideological assumptions. The study of the density of rhetorical figures is the method of analysis used to verify the objectivity of the speaker's parrhesia

Life cycle energy and CO2 emissions analysis of food packaging: an insight into the methodology from an Italian perspective

2016

Packaging is strictly connected to environmental issues as it is a product characterised by high material consumption rate; it is often transported over long distances and has a short life. Providing environmental analysis is, therefore, urgent to identify energy and resources efficient solutions. The paper, taking advantage of a real case study, presents a life cycle-based comparative analysis among three different food packaging systems. The paper compares the life cycle of tin steel, polypropylene and glass-based packaging of an Italian preserves producer. The analysis leads to the conclusion that, for the baseline scenario, polypropylene packaging represents the greenest solution, where…

Thermal and optical switching of bistable iron compounds and possible applications

1993

Abstract Iron(II) coordination compounds with ligand field strengths close to the mean spin pairing energy may undergo thermal spin transition in the solid as well as in the liquid state. The thermodynamically stable state is high spin (HS) 5T2 (under Oh symmetry) with (t2)4 e2 electron configuration above the critical transition temperature Tc, and low spin (LS) 1A1 with (t2)6 electron configuration below Tc. The spin transition curve γHS(T) (molar fraction of HS molecules as function of temperature) can be abrupt or gradual, with or without hysteresis, or even with a plateau near Tc. Tc itself can vary over the whole temperature scale between the liquid helium region up to above room temp…

Protonation and methylation reactions of 2-pyridyl-palladium(II) and -platinum(II) complexes

1983

Abstract The reactions of strong acids HX and HClO4 with the 2-pyridyl complexes [PdX(μ-C5H4N-C2,N)(PPh3)]2 (X = Cl, Br), trans-[PdCl(C5H4N-C2)(PEt3)2] and [PdCl(C5H4N-C2)(dppe)] yield the N-protonated derivatives cis-[PdX2-(C5H5N-C2)(PPh3)], trans-[PdCl(C5H5N-C2)(PEt3)2]ClO4 and [PdCl-(C5H5N-C2)(dppe)]ClO4, respectively. The terminal 2-pyridyl group of trans-[PdCl(C5H4N-C2)(PEt3)2] and [PdCl(C5H4N-C2)(dppe)] also reacts with Me2SO4/NaClO4 to give trans-[PdClC5H4(l-Me)N-C2(PEt3)2]ClO4 and [PdClC5H4(l-Me)N-C2(dppe)]ClO4. Analogous N-protonation or N-methylation reactions occur with trans-[PtBr(C5H4N-C2)(L)2] (L = PEt3, PPh3). The complexes trans-[MX(C5H5N-C2)(PMe2Ph)2]ClO4 (M = Pd, X = Cl an…

La ceramica figurata lilibetana "in added colour": breve nota di riesame

2023

The paper offers a contribution to the study of Lilibeo’s figured vases, which make extensive use of added color. The examination of some contexts allows us to clarify the old idea of a derivation of the Lilibetane vases from the workshops of Lipari, due to a displacement of artisans who would operate first in Lipari and then in Lilibeo (like the Swans Painter). It is not completely excludes the movement of craftsmen due to destructions or political changes. However it reconstructs complex interactions in which a main role had to play the influence and the action of medium exercised by the same imported artifacts (Lipari vases, mainly, but not only).

The unspeakable through the works of some contemporary Spanish composers

2016

The concept of unspeakable, as complex as it may be, can base itself on an experience of the sensitive, and find a common context in the events exceeding the limit and pointing a certain chaos. Those of the Spanish Civil War have constituted, by numerous aspects, examples of these unthinkable excesses. The impact of the environment on the creators has been heard in the thematic traces which are imperative in the works composed on the themes of death, violence or war: from the sound phenomena, some figures making sensitive the exceeding of the limit and chaotic connotation have been highlighted and echo what is beyond belief, as the destruction of man or the inaudibility of death. These figu…

How Idioms Are Recognized when Individuals Are “Thrown Off the Track”, “Off the Rack” or “Off the Path”: A Decision Time Experiment in Healthy Volunt…

2021

Figurative elements in language have their own particularities, including words that deviate from their generally accepted definition to amplify our language or to paraphrase an issue. It is still unclear how individuals process idioms that are figurative or ambiguous, especially when they additionally become distracted by modified idioms that are similar in appearance. In our study, 47 healthy adults (mean age of 27.3 years, SD = 2.9) participated in a decision time experiment to determine how participants recognize well-formed, genuine German idioms alongside certain idiom modifications. All participants were initially exposed to a prime on a screen. Then, they had to detect the target id…

Análisis y revisión del sarcasmo y la lítote: propuesta desde la Teoría de la Relevancia

2009

Overall, sarcasm and litote have been considered rhetorical fi gures and, therefore, dislocated uses of language. Classical studies accept the existence of two different languages: the literal one and the fi gurative one, whereas more recent theoretical frameworks, such as Relevance Theory, disagree with this standpoint. In that sense, this paper attempts to revisit some classical considerations from the perspective of Relevance Theory; one signifi cant conclusion will be that there is only one language with different uses guided by communicative relevance.

ALL OR NOTHING: A SEMANTIC ANALYSIS OF HYPERBOLE

2009

This paper focuses on hyperbole, a long neglected form of non-literal language despite its pervasiveness<br />in everyday speech. It addresses the production process of exaggeration, since a crucial limitation in<br />figurative language theories is the production and usage of figures of speech, probably due to the intensive<br />research effort on their comprehension. The aim is to analyse hyperbole from a semantic perspective in order<br />to devise a semasiological taxonomy which enables us to understand the nature and uses of the trope. In<br />order to analyse and classify hyperbolic items a corpus of naturally occurring conversations extracted from<br …
