Manner of motion verbs in Latin
2011
In this talk I present the theoretical premises, methodology, corpus, and preliminary results of an ongoing research carried on with Egle Mocciaro (University of Palermo) and Claudio Iacobini (University of Salerno) on the encoding of motion expression in Latin. Some data concerning manner of motion expression in Classical Latin are presented and commented. o Main aim: • to make a first approach towards the manner-of-motion encoding strategies in Latin o Outline: 1. Overview of the main proposals about the typology of motion event encoding • Talmy’s classification of motion event lexicalization patterns • Definitions of the manner component in motion encoding • Connection between manner sal…
Oltre Babele, il tempo
2020
Il tempo è un fattore fondamentale nella determinazione della varietà linguistica e rende oscure le espressioni, al di là della varietà babelica della diversità linguistica.
Theognis of Megara and the Divine Creating Power in the Framework of Semiotic Textology: An Application of János Sándor Petöfi’s Theory to Archaic Gr…
2012
This paper is a demonstration of an application of Semiotic Textology to a limited case study. The main aspects of Semiotic Textology, the theory elaborated by Petöfi, are presented; secondly the linguistic aspects of the interpretation of lines 133-134 of the Theognis of Megara's poem, analysed in the framework of said theory, are presented. All the relevant syntactic, semantic, pragmatic information involved in text processing have been considered. Through fixed steps, it is shown that text processing is not exclusively a grammatical activity, because within a theoretical interpretation an Interpreter needs a number of contextual hypotheses, in order to understand the author's ontology. ©…
Innovazione tipologica del “lotto gotico”. Un nuovo scenario urbano per l’aera di Rogoredo a Milano
2020
Il contributo proposto riguarda l’esperienza progettuale sviluppata nell’ambito della partecipazione al Workshop di progettazione RE-LIVE 2019, volto a “fornire un apporto culturale, scientifico e di ricerca utile a supportare la definizione dei contenuti di un Progetto di Fattibilità Tecnico Economica per il comparto urbano di Via Medici del Vascello nell’area sud-est di Milano”. La ricerca progettuale ha avuto come focus: • la costruzione di un approccio metodologico, a scala più vasta rispetto a quella di intervento, attraverso la lettura dei caratteri “tipo-morfologici”, delle “preesistenze ambientali” e del “sistema infrastrutturale”; • il disegno dello spazio di relazione, attraverso …
"Fabula narratur toto notissima caelo": "cornuto" e cornuti nel "Gattopardo"
2019
In Il Gattopardo of Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa there are three cuckolds: Vulcan, Giuseppe Garibaldi, and Tancredi Falconeri. This study explains how this triad is constituted and shows how the three figures are related in the narrative. The analysis opens a new perspective on the interpretation of the novel and brings out some aspects of its implicit organization.
Tourism, language and globalization. A linguistic representation of St. Petersburg in Lonely Planet’s web site
Teaching foreign languages for specific purposes holds an importance that, at the present time, it is extended widely to the field of the tourism industry which uses natural languages to create a shared metalanguage. The languages used to describe a tourism destination are particularly interesting because they build up a tourism’s representation of the town in order to pilot the travellers’ choices. In this context, tour guides represent an interesting example because they offer to the learner-reader the possibility to explore the richness of a foreign language. This study proposes an analysis of St. Petersburg’s tourist guide contained in the Lonely Planet web magazine in the English langu…

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…
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…
