Ceci n'est pas une ontologie

2014

The opening remarks of the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus seem to outline the bases of an atomistic ontological theory. For the resolute interpreters, such 
an ontology should be considered as mere part of the set of nonsensical 
propositions that make up the parody of a semantic theory. However, resolute 
readers share with the traditional views an essentialist reading of the 
ontological section, according to which Wittgenstein's remarks are intended to 
build up a real, though parodistic, atomistic ontology. 
 By contrast, textual evidence supports the idea that the basic notion of 
Wittgenstein’s ontology, i.e. the notion of object, should be considered as an 
intra-linguistic, rather t…

Topological Space

We introduce some formal definition of Topological Space in the the framework of the so-called classical mathematics.

Don't skip intro. Sigle da non perdere

2019

In recent years, TV series have gained a central role among the classic TV genres. They have become more and more elaborate, strategically edited, catching both the critics and the audiences’ eyes. Many «surrounding» texts have contributed (and contribute) in making them popular and, among these texts, the opening credits play a special part. At the beginning of television history, opening sequences were brief and marginal texts aimed at informing the viewer about the cast and the contents he was going to watch. Nowadays they are refined products, designed to present, seduce, involve and facilitate the viewer’s entry into the story. In this paper, we will focus on these brief yet rich kind …

Soglie XXL. Sigle dei programmi televisivi sul dimagrimento

2020

TV show opening credits can be considered as frames which delimit the borders of a filmic text. They aim at advising and attracting the audience by highlighting specific aspects of the program. In doing that, opening credits as well as other forms of intros activate specific styles of relationship between the instances of production and reception of texts. They can be considered acts of enunciation through which the enunciator establishes its own discourse and gives instructions to the enunciatee about the text. In this paper we will analyze these so called “paratexts”, in particular by focusing on the intro sequences of some weight loss TV programs from the Italian television schedule. The…

Is displacement possible without language? Evidence from preverbal infants and chimpanzees

2013

Is displacement possible without language? This question was addressed in a recent work by Liszkowski and colleagues (Liszkowski, Schafer, Carpenter, & Tomasello, 2009). The authors carried out an experiment to demonstrate that 12-month-old prelinguistic infants can communicate about absent entities by using pointing gestures, while chimpanzees cannot. The main hypothesis of their study is that displacement does not depend on language but is, however, exclusively human and instead depends on species-specific social-cognitive human skills. Against this hypothesis, we will argue that a symbolic representation is needed to intentionally communicate absence and that this symbolic representa…

De fait, les deux chercheuses soulignent l’emergence de ce terme anglophone dans une ...

Dinamiche linguistiche nel metalinguaggio pubblicitario dell’italiano standard: spot televisivi delle compagnie telefoniche

2010

Questo studio analizza il linguaggio pubblicitario dei commercial italiani di alcune compagnie di telefonia e telecomunicazioni presenti in Italia (Telecom Alice, Fastweb, Tre, Wind Infostrada, Vodafone Omnitel, Tele2). I commercial o spot (Eugeni 2010: 265) possono essere considerati veri e propri testi «narrativi» con strategie comunicative e un linguaggio artistico che «è alla base della modellizzazione dei processi dinamici della lingua» (Lotman 1980: 20); gli spot risultano, infatti, interessanti in quanto permettono di evidenziare gli effetti della globalizzazione (Bauman 2001: 4) sul metalinguaggio pubblicitario e delle sue inevitabili ricadute sulle dinamiche linguistiche dell’itali…

Pattern

2020

The word “pattern” is a very complex term. Generally, it refers to “an arrange- ment that reveals an order, or design, which is meaningful” (cf. Thaker 1999: 427). But a quick look at many of its different domains of application (e.g. theoretical biology, mathematics, aesthetics, linguistics, etc., etc.) proves that “pattern” has a semantic potential richer than one usually expressed by such a definition. For instance, in the framework of the so-called combinatorics on words (cf. at least Lothaire 2012), a pattern is “a word over an alphabet of variables and is meant to describe some kind of repetitive structures” (cf. Rampersard 2017: 98). Therefore, in this first theoretical approach, “th…

Peppa Pig

2014

Peppa Pig è la regina delle serie tv rivolte per prima infanzia. Le sue puntate sono trasmesse in tv più di cinquanta volte al giorno da Rai YoYo e altri canali tv. Rappresentano un intrattenimento immancabile e, per certi versi, ineludibile per i piccoli. Il successo di Peppa Pig supera gli argini della programmazione televisiva ed è diventato fenomeno di costume, proliferando nei media più diversi (cinema, tv, internet e quant’altro). Estende anche il potere di fascinazione al mondo delle merci: Peppa si vende in ogni forma e modo, dai quaderni alle magliette, dai pupazzi ai gadget portatili. Peppa è diventata una metafora dei nostri tempi. Ma cosa davvero ci chiede la simpatica maialina …
