Motivare (al)la grammatica: valenza e didattica
2020
La disaffezione dei nostri studenti per la grammatica è fatto noto ai più. Al contempo, negli insegnanti è alta la consapevolezza dell'utilità che lo studio della logica che a essa soggiace potrebbe avere per lo studente. I benefici si estenderebbero ben oltre il periodo di studi. Questa distanza, tra ciò che gli studenti prediligono e ciò che a loro effettivamente servirebbe, richiede la ricerca di strumenti atti a invertire la rotta. Il presente contributo ne propone alcuni riguardanti l'insegnamento della sintassi e delle interfacce con morfologia e semantica. Tratto comune a ognuno degli strumenti suggeriti è un metodo concepito per destare la curiosità del discente e stimolare il suo d…
Intensificatori e soggettificazione in latino: sulla grammaticalizzazione di maxime
2022
The aim of this paper is to investigate the grammaticalization path of the intensifying adverb maxime in Early Latin, within the perspective of the so-called ‘subjectification’ theory. Despite the difficulty of drawing discrete boundaries within the multifunctional category of adverbs, the semantic, syntactic and pragmatic analysis of maxime across different contexts of use allows us to identify at least three main functions of this adverb in early Latin texts, mostly in the Roman comedy of Plautus and Terence. In particular, adopting the perspective of the Functional Discourse Grammar, it is shown that maxime is used as (i) degree adverb, which modifies a large range of elements acting at …

Aportació a l'estudi de la conjunció concessiva «jatsia»
2007
Concessive connectors are the focal point of grammaticalization processes, based on several types of lexical sources. In Catalan, «jatsia» (that) is the result of a grammaticalization process based on an aspectual temporary adverb (or phase adverb), which is comparable to the process that produced «encara que». The case of «encara que» has already been studied specifically by Pérez Saldanya & Salvador (1995), while Klesper (1930), Badia (1982) and Cuenca & Massip (2005) have focused on «jatsia» (that). The interest of the study of these processes is increased in the case of «jatsia»(that) by the polymorphism it shows and by the displacement it has experimented in its use, since it has gone …
“Plain Language: New perspectives and recent outcomes in European and International arena”.
2014
This EJLR issue on “Plain Language: New perspectives and recent outcomes in European and International arena” draws its plain language reform data from the United Kingdom, Italy, the European Union, Australia, Pakistan, and the international context. The focus of investigation is centrally on the analysis of discourse (very broadly construed to include lexico-grammatical analyses as well as generic and textual analyses) but with the analyses cited in particular contexts (legal, national, and international). These issues are examined in a more detailed form in the contributions to this volume, which focus on the legal, linguistic, and cultural aspects of plain language discourse in different…
The challenges of Language: re-shaping legislative discourse(s) and text(s)
2015
Since the 1990s the discourse on the relationship between the EU and member states in the field of labour law has changed significantly and it has been increasingly supplemented by framework agreements between the EU and the actors involved in the labour law dialogue. From this point of view, the Green Paper on Modernising labour law invites member states, the social partners and other interested parties to participate in a consultation process and an open debate, in order to look at how labour law can help promote flexibility in conjunction with security, regardless of the type of employment contract. The aim of this paper is to explore how the labour law interactants re-shape their discou…
Crossing the Borders between Legislative Drafting and Linguistics: Linguists to the Aid of Legislative Drafters
2012
‘Crossing the Borders between Legislative Drafting and Linguistics: Linguists to the Aid of Legislative Drafters’ is the focus of the co-authored article by Helen Xanthaki and Giulia Adriana Pennisi. In her discussion, Helen Xanthaki claims that linguists provide a useful contribution to ‘phronetic legislative drafting’, on account of common areas of interaction where lexico-grammatical and discourse analysis help to understand the meanings and functions of text production. This is then examined by Giulia Adriana Pennisi who draws on the institutional legal discourse enacted in the Treaty of Lisbon to argue for divergent – yet indeed uniform – constitutional principles and values.
Modernising Labour Law: Re-Shaping Discourse(s) and Text(s)
2012
The European Union establishes minimum requirements in the field of labour rights and work organisation (EC Treaty, articles 136-139). These requirements regard the consultation and information of workers, working hours, equal treatment and pay, insolvency and the transfer of undertakings. Since the 1990s the discourse on the relationship between the EU and member states in the field of labour law has changed significantly and it has been increasingly supplemented by framework agreements between the EU and the actors involved in the labour law dialogue. From this point of view, the Green Paper on Modernising labour law (Green Paper – Modernising labour law to meet the challenges of the 21st…
White Paper on Governance: EU Attempt to Popularize Legal Discourse?
2015
Since the 1990s the discourse on the relationship between the EU institutions and member states in the field of European action has changed significantly and it has been increasingly supplemented by framework agreements between the actors involved in the Community dialogue. In this regard, the White Paper on Governance (Brussels, 25.7.2001 - COM(2001) 428final) contains a series of recommendations on how to enhance democracy in Europe and boost the legitimacy of the institutions. The aim is to modernize European public action in order to increase the accountability of European executive bodies to the elected assemblies and open up the Union's decision-making procedures to allow citizens to …
Grammatica latina e innovazione nella linguistica missionaria: il contributo di Ludovico Bertonio (1557-1625)
2022
L’analisi delle prime grammatiche delle lingue native, scritte dai missionari allo scopo di standardizzare le innumerevoli varietà linguistiche con cui gli europei vennero a contatto durante il periodo della colonizzazione spagnola e portoghese in sud America, consente di gettare una nuova luce sull’evoluzione del pensiero linguistico all’inizio dell’era moderna. Questo lavoro si concentra in particolare sulla prima grammatica dell’aymara, l’Arte y Grammatica muy copiosa de la lengua aymara, scritta in lingua castigliana alla fine del Cinquecento (1596) dal missionario gesuita italiano Ludovico Bertonio e pubblicata a Roma nel 1603.
