Pseudo-relatives, gerunds and infinitives in Romance: (only) superficial resemblances and structural connections
2013
L'argomento di questa monografia è un confronto tra i costrutti predicativi di tipo frasale nelle diverse varietà romanze. Mentre le pseudorelative sono diffuse pressoché in tutta la Romània, con qualche variazione parametrica minore, i gerundi predicativi e gli infiniti preposizionali sono usati solo in alcune varietà. Negli studi linguistici sull'argomento è mancata finora l'ottica comparativa, sia tra varietà diverse, sia tra costrutti predicativi diversi. Il mio lavoro si prefissa lo scopo di colmare questa lacuna, senza ignorare però i costrutti percettivi composti da un infinito semplice, che da parte della letteratura sono stati paragonati alle strutture predicative delle pseudorelat…
Il clitico soggetto di terza persona al in friulano centrale. Proposta per una nuova analisi
2018
This chapter discusses the syntactic properties of the subject clitici pronoun 'al' ('he.CL') in Central Friulian. The description is based on a comparison with Western Friulian, in which the clitic cluster 'a l' occurs. We show that the Central Friulian 'al' is syntactically different and should be analysed as a single clitic. In the cases in which 'al' does not occur (this happens when another clitic pronoun is present), or when it occurs in the form -l (only after negation: 'nol' 'not=he.CL) is due to phonology. Our proposal is also strengthened by considering data from aphasia: aphasic speakers of Central Friulian seem to conceive the 'al' as a single clitic.
L’USO DEL DIALETTO NELLA CANZONE. STUDI, TENDENZE, PROSPETTIVE DI RICERCA
2020
Gli ultimi decenni della storia linguistica del nostro Paese sono stati scanditi da una serie di rapidi e importanti mutamenti dell’assetto sociolinguistico: l’italiano, sempre più orientato sull’asse dell’oralità, è cambiato anche nella canzone che a poco a poco si è aperta ai tratti del parlato scrollandosi di dosso l’insieme di “for¬mule” ereditate dal passato. In questa cesura col passato, la tendenza alla ricerca di una lingua che riproponesse i tratti del parlato ha ovviamente favorito anche una significativa sporgenza verso il dialetto. Se nella percezione di un artista, la sua canzone “coincide” con il testo che egli ha scritto, non sempre, per chi voglia studiarne le caratteristich…
Cambiamenti nell'uso dei soggetti clitici veneti: il ruolo del contatto con l'italiano
2018
This chapter discusses the results of a series of data on the syntax of subject clitic pronouns in Venetan dialects. The data were gathered through a crowdsourcing tool (google modules), and more than 700 participants took part in the inquiry. The data collection asked for grammaticality judgements on a series of contexts. The main research question was whether the syntax of subject clitics is changing in the language of the younger generation: this question is particularly important because the distribution of the Venetan varieties througout the Veneto region is changing, due to the increasing influence and presence of Italian, which is the L1 of most of the younger speakers. The results s…

A syntactic analysis of the subject clitic a in the Friulian variety of Campone
2015
This article presents a syntactic analysis of the third person subject clitic a in Camponese, a heretofore unstudied Friulian variety. Following Poletto's (2000) map of subject clitics, we argue that it bears [+third person] features, and is, in fact, the spell-out of the functional head Subj°, located in the highest projection of TP (following Rizzi & Shlonsky 2007). In the first part of the article, we offer a detailed description of the distribution and syntactic properties of the subject clitic a, identifying its position in relation to the other elements that occur in the CP and TP. In the second part we discuss two proposals put forward to account for split clitics like a-l in the…
Innalzamento delle vocali medie toniche in contesto di /a/ finale in un’area della Sicilia centrale
2022
Le varietà della Sicilia centrale sono notoriamente caratterizzate dalla presenza di alcuni fenomeni vocalici (tra questi, la metafonia e l’abbassamento di i/u toniche in parole che presentano le stesse vocali in posizione finale), sui quali esiste ormai un’ampia letteratura. Quasi ignoto è, invece, il fenomeno più particolarmente preso in esame in questo saggio: l'innalzamento delle vocali medie toniche e/o in contesto di a finale che interessa una piccola e compatta area della provincia di Caltanissetta e che interviene a complicare ulteriormente il quadro delle dinamiche vocaliche nella Sicilia centrale. Sulla base dei dati emersi dalla misurazione delle frequenze in Hz delle formanti (F…
