Alesa Arconidea (Tusa): proposta ricostruttiva dell’agora tardo ellenistica
2022
In the second half of the second century BC, in the wake of the building renovation that affected the most important urban centers of northern Sicily, even the ancient city of Alesa Arconidea remodeled its monumental structure. The agora/forum, in particular, was restructured in a scenographic system, acquiring the architectural characteristics of a typical Hellenistic monumental complex, similar to those of Greece and Asia Minor, by which it was influenced. In planimetric terms, to date up to the present time, the agora represents a unicum in Sicily because of its Π shape with deep double columns of the arcade, which enclose a large square excluded to vehicular traffic. Recent researches a…

Si presentano in sintesi le ricerche sul territorio della città di Alesa Arconidea
Paesaggio catastale, paesaggio letterario e archeologia del paesaggio. Tre percezioni a confronto
2008
Our aim is to compare three possible and different perceptions of the agricultural landscape of Hellenistic and Roman Sicily: the "cadrastal" landscape as shown in the Tables of Halaisa, the literary landscape, as evidenced by sources as the poetry of Theocritus, and the landscape reconstructed through archaeological surveys (landscape archaeology). Each of these readings, with reference to the real territory of Halaisa, reveals itself as a different perception, mediated by the elements considered, the available data and the purpose of the approach: in the Tables the detection of the boundaries of public-owned lots, in the poetry of Theocritus the creation of an ideal landscape, connected, …
The "Historia de la doncella Teodor" in Burgos’ Printing Press: Regarding a New Edition from Juan de Junta’s Workshop, c. 1535-1540
2020
En este trabajo se da noticia y se lleva a cabo el estudio tipobibliográfico de una edición sine notis de la Historia de la doncella Teodor. El análisis permite identificar la impresión en Burgos en el taller de Juan de Junta, c. 1535-1540. El rasgo material que singulariza este impreso es que la última hoja del primer cuaderno ha sido remedada por una copia manuscrita que no solo reproduce la tipografía original, sino también, a plumilla, las estampas. El estudio textual e iconográfico nos permitirá identificar la fuente del folio contrahecho.
Iugalia vetustissima. Argenti, avori e smalti nel Tesoro della Chiesa Madre (XIV-XV secolo)
2016
Nel contributo si approfondisce lo studio di oggetti liturgici già noti (due calici di argentieri e smaltisti siciliani toscaneggianti, di fine XIV-inizi XV secolo il primo, del 1429 il secondo; un reliquiario di argentiere genovese e maestranze veneziane della prima metà del XV secolo), mentre si portano per la prima volta all'attenzione degli studiosi del settore altri tre manufatti: una croce da tavolo, già stauroteca, in argento, opera siciliana della metà del XV secolo, su cui si innestano due statuette protogotiche a tutto tondo di Dolenti in avorio o osso, forse dovute a maestranza iberica di fine XIII-inizi XIV secolo, ed un Crocifisso metallico su croce lignea del XVIII secolo; una…
A Study into the Integration of ICT into a Business Management Course: Challenges and Achievements
2012
Nowadays, the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) play an increasingly important role in education. Indeed, ICT are considered as very useful pedagogic tools, and multimedia resources are constantly being created, updated and shared by university members worldwide. This paper deals with a case of study exploring the way in which the integration of ICT impacts learning in the context of a business management course at the Universitat de València (UV), in Spain. The results of the study point out the need for academic staff and students to acquire the appropriate knowledge and to develop the skills required for an efficient and effective use of ICT in higher education.

Practice and assessment of oral skills in developing online preparatory materials through the InGenio authoring shell
2012
The practice of oral skills is a basic requirement of learning or teaching a new language, as one of the main goals in the field of language learning is developing oral communicative competence, especially needed in contexts where the students¿ L2 is the vehicular language and therefore the main means of interaction. The InGenio online authoring tool allows designers of new materials, as well as language teachers and students, to rethink and imagine new ways of dealing with practice and assessment of listening and speaking skills thanks to the flexibility of its templates, resources and tools. This article explores the ways in which the InGenio utilities, solutions and learning materials ar…
Violence in the Brothers Grimm's fairy tales: a corpus-based approach
2010
The purpose of this article is to carry out a corpus-based study on the presence of violence in a selection of eight tales by the Grimm's Brothers by looking at the terms which can be said to relate to the semantic field of violence. More specifically, this study will analyse a selection of eight tales in which the frequency of the words cut, dead and blood will be studied in detail. These words have been chosen due to their possible connection to violence after carrying out a quantitative analysis of the frequency of the whole main corpus. My initial hypothesis is that the corpus-based study of those eight tales would support my intuition regarding the high percentage of violence in the Br…
'The sisters did her every imaginable injury': Power and violence in Cinderella
2012
The main aim of this article is to discuss the results achieved after investigating the presence of violence in the Grimm brothers’ <em>Cinderella</em> with the intention of finding out what kind of processes predominate in this tale and whether they can be related to violent actions. The analysis involved firstly, a study of the frequency and concordances of some words belonging to the semantic field ‘violence’, surveying in detail the context in which they appear and secondly, the analysis of transitivity processes. The method proved to be a good strategy to check whether each character’s identity and social position (power) were somehow related to the infliction of violence w…
Target frames in British hotel websites
2015
This article centres on four-word phrase frames in British hospitality websites. Our aim is to identify those frames that are specific to this website genre, which we call target frames. Each phrase frame represents an identical sequence of words except for one variable word, that is A*BC or AB*D. The words that fill the slot, marked with an asterisk, are called fillers. We used a corpus-driven approach using KfNgram software to identify the phrase frames in our corpus (COMETVAL). We regard phrase frames as genre-specific when they are significantly more frequent than those found in the written section of the BNC, which represents General British English. We further filtered our selection o…
