Automatic Extraction of Semantic Roles in Support Verb Constructions
2021
This paper deals with paraphrastic relations in Italian. In the following sentences: (a) Max strappò delle lacrime a Sara 'Max moved Sara to tears' and (b) Max fece piangere Sara 'Max made Sara cry', the verbs differ syntactically and semantically. Strappare 'tear/rip/wring' is transitive, fare ‘have/make’ is a causative, and piangere 'cry' is intransitive. Despite this, a translation of (a) as (b) is legitimate and therefore (a) is a paraphrase of (b). In theoretical linguistics this raises an issue concerning the relationship between strappare and fare/piangere in Italian, and that in English between move and make. In computational linguistics, can such paraphrases be obtained automatical…
Guillem Peire de Cazals. D’una leu chanso ai cor que m’entremeta (BdT 227.8)
2016
L’articolo propone una nuova edizione critica di D’una leu chanso ai cor que m’entremeta di Guillem Peire de Cazals, accompagnata da un commento volto a contestualizzare la canzone entro la modalità poetica della mala canso. Il testo, una vera e propria ‘canzone di disamore’, è databile agli anni 1229-1230 e costituisce un cambiamento di rotta da parte del trovatore caorsino, sia sul piano tematico che sul piano stilistico. Il riflesso di tale cambiamento è ravvisabile fin dal binomio incipitale, leu chanso – che si carica di un particolare sovrasenso retorico –, e prosegue nel corso del récit, dove si rintraccia l’uso di un vocabolario e di temi tipici della ‘modalità’ del disamore. This a…
On the Syntax of Fronted Adverbial Clauses in Two Tyrolean Dialects: The Distribution of Resumptive Semm
2023
Abstract This chapter discusses adverbial resumption in two Tyrolean dialects, Meranese and Mòcheno, which represent two privileged environments for investigations on microvariation. We show that certain classes of fronted adverbials are resumed in both languages by the resumptive element semm (lit. “there, then”), which behaves semantically like a generalized resumptive because it is used with a variety of adverbial clauses. However, unlike the Norwegian generalized resumptive studied by Christine Meklenborg, semm is a maximal category and cannot resume nominal arguments. We demonstrate that resumption with semm is limited to central adverbial clauses (e.g. temporal clauses), while periphe…
La tradition italienne du roman de chevalerie dans le miroir du "Don Quichotte"
2019
Résumé La tradition italienne du roman de chevalerie et le Don Quichotte ont été mis en relation principalement de deux manières. En premier lieu, la critique moderne a souvent rapproché le Quichotte du Roland furieux de l?Arioste en raison d?un dialogue à la fois textuel et structurel d?une grande complexité, s?étalant sur plusieurs niveaux de composition ; en outre, la réception et la canonisation des deux chefs-d??uvre, successifs mais idéalement conjoints, ont été liées à la dissolution de l?idéal chevaleresque, à la fondation du roman moderne, et même à la naissance de l?idée moderne de l?Homme. En deuxième lieu, le Quichotte représente une sorte de « stade du miroir » du genre après C…

Relationships and linguistically sensitive teaching : Developing teacher practicum at Åbo Akademi University
2020
Project “Linguistically sensitive teaching in all classrooms” (Listiac) aims to make an impact on initial teacher education systems in Europe through action research. In line with European policies, the seven partner countries including Finland, Spain (the autonomous Basque country and Catalonia), Belgium, France, Slovenia, Lithuania and Portugal work together in providing competences and skills needed for handling linguistic diversity in our schools. Diversity education has been regarded nearly everywhere as an isolated ‘add-on’ course or study module (EC 2017). Thus, it has remained insufficiently mainstreamed as an integrated component of teaching practice. Listiac addresses this imbalan…

Unaccusativity
2012
My research is an attempt at suggesting a cross-linguistically valid definition of verbs characterizedby unagentivity and affectedness such as “burn”, “die”, “sink”, “fall”, “slide”, etc., which accordingto the present analysis constitute the semantic core of unaccusativity. Both synchronic anddiachronic approaches are followed. Various definitions have been attributed to these verbs(eventives, anticausatives, transformatives, inchoatives, decausatives). Although Perlmutter &Postal (1984) classify unaccusative verbs on the basis of their syntactic behavior, they also arguethat the syntactic expression of arguments is always determinable on the basis of the meaning of theverb, so that so…
