La costruzione 'con + DP + pseudorelativa': proposta per una duplice interpretazione
2015
This chapter deals with the so-called "absolute construction", an adverbial prepositional phrase headed by the preposition 'con' ('with') followed by a noun and a pseudo-relative clause (e.g. "Con Maria che piange, non possiamo uscire"). The main aim of the chapter is to show that Pseudo-relative clauses can have three different structures, and that two different types are used in the absolute construction, depending on the degree of syntactic integration of the prepositional phrase in the main clause. Fronted 'con'-clauses select a pseudo-relative clause with clausal status (CP), while sentence-final 'con'-clauses, which are more integrated, select a pseudo-relative clause with nominal sta…
Ortografia e trascrizione del siciliano. Una rassegna
2007
Vengono prese in esame le diverse e svariate soluzioni ortografiche adottate in varie opere di dialettologia siciliana del '900 (vocabolari, descrizioni di sistemi dialettali, raccolte di testi di parlato, saggi sull'ortografia del siciliano). L'insieme di opere esaminate permette di ricavare un quadro sufficientemente ampio sull'asse diatopico e diacronico dei problemi connessi alla trascrizione di varità prive di una tradizione ortografica univoca e di come le questioni affrontate siano state di volta in volta risolte.
La canzone popolare italiana fra implicazioni diastratiche e riusi colti
2015
This paper studies the linguistic variability in Italian music songs from a sociola point of view, a new research approach with only few studis in the current bibliography. The social factors of linguistic variation will be called into question to discuss the meaning of "folk song", a rather complex notion. First of all, we shall remark that many recent studies on songs use the term 'opular' with a quite different meaning rather than the meaning used in Italian linguistics. The variationist approach allows us to define the meaning of "folk song", because it shoes the close relationship between linguistic features and the social world represented in folk songs. In this perspective, we shall …
Learn by laughing: Italian film comedy as a didactic tool for the development of humor competence in Italian L2
2022
In the context of second language (L2) education, it’s increasingly accepted that through humor it’s possible to create a relaxed atmosphere which positively impacts on the whole learning process. To make a successful employment of humor in the L2 classroom, however, it’s crucial for students to be capable of truly understand, appreciate, and produce funny and humoristic speeches. We are dealing with a multidimensional and complex ability, namely Humor Competence, that does not require only linguistic and communicative proficiency, but also a larger set of skills connected to socio-cultural, pragmatic, and proxemic dimensions. Especially in the context of Italian Language Education, little …
La negoziazione dei significati nell’intervista sociolingustica: dinamiche interazionali e influenze contestuali nei dati dell’Atlante Linguistico de…
2020
In this article I discuss some interactional aspects regarding the relation between the participants in the sociolinguistic interview. In particular, I show how interviewers and interviewees work together in order to co-construct the (socio)linguistic data. In this perspective, I analyse the ways in which the participants make observable to each other their interactional roles through the interview. Moreover, I focus on the relation between the individuals taking part in the interview and the invisible, yet influential members of the research group. I show how the latter may affect the interactional moves of the former, but also how participants account for the research group’s role. The an…
Dinamiche della percezione comunitaria attraverso i soprannomi etnici. Da Pitrè a oggi, in Sicilia.
2012
I soprannomi etnici costituiscono, in Sicilia, uno strumento onomastico privilegiato per cogliere le dinamiche della percezione intercomunitaria. Essi, infatti, disegnano, attraverso i tratti che si ritengono salienti, i caratteri, denotativi e connotativi, dei diversi centri. Analizzando il corpus di Pitrè, raccolto alla fine del XIX secolo, e il corpus odierno, raccolto all’interno del progetto DASES, è possibile cogliere il cambiamento, ma anche la persistenza di alcuni tratti, da quelli ergologici e quelli alimentari, da quelli comportamentali a quelli economici. Ciò consente di valutare cosa sia cambiato e cosa si sia mantenuto, che cosa le comunità continuino a stigmatizzare e quali e…
Speaker variables and their relation to language change
2018
The aim of this chapter is to discuss the relationship between variation processes and linguistic change and the speaker variables identified by Romance sociolinguistic studies. In particular, Romance sociolinguistics focuses on three different points of view: the socio-biographical characteristics of the speaker; the varieties related to social differences, and the relation between social groups and linguistic repertoire. In our work, we will study the socio-biographical characteristics, that Anglo-American linguistics defines as “speaker variables”, analyzing those variables more closely related in Romance studies to the diastratic vari-ation (age, sex/gender, social class). In certain ca…
