Pseudo-relatives and their left-periphery
2016
In this article I propose a new analysis of Pseudo-Relative clauses ('PRs') within the Cartographic model (Rizzi 1997 a.o.). Heretofore, the apparently contradictory behaviour of PRs in the syntactic tests used to determine their structure has been very problematic. Based on new data from Italian, I show that PRs are Small Clauses with a ForceP projection. Moreover, I explain the inconsistent results of the syntactic tests by claiming that PRs can be embedded in different syntactic environments. More specifically, they can be inserted as 'bare' Small Clauses into the matrix clause or be part of a bigger structure: i.e., a Complex-DP, a locative adjunction or a 'Larsonian' structure.
Costruire e rappresentare le identità. La linguistica come mediatrice fra politiche identitarie e identità del parlante
2013
Lo scopo del contributo è riflettere sul ruolo di mediazione che la linguistica può avere nel complesso rapporto fra le politiche linguistiche e le concrete pratiche discorsive dei parlanti. Il lavoro è diviso in due parti. Nella prima ci si concentrerà sul modo in cui il concetto di «identità» è stato affrontato nella ricerca linguistica nel corso del xx secolo. Nella seconda alcuni possibili modelli di rappresentazione delle complesse costruzioni identitarie emerse nel corso delle inchieste della sezione sociovariazionale dell’Atlante Linguistico della Sicilia (ALS), con particolare riferimento alle domande che indagano sulla percezione dei confini linguistici. Our paper aims at reflecting up…
Costruire e rappresentare l’identità. La linguistica come mediatrice fra politiche identitarie e identità del parlante
2013
Our paper aims at reflecting upon the mediation role that linguistics could play concerning the relationship between language policies and concrete speakers’ discourse practices. The paper is divided into two parts. The first one focuses on the concept of «identity» within Linguistics throughout 20th century. The second part deals with some possible models which may be employed in order to represent the construction of speakers’ identity as it may be observed within the interviews of the Linguistic Atlas of Sicily (ALS).
The Pseudo-Relatives and other Correspondent Constructions in the Romance Languages
2013
This chapter deals with the use of different construction selected by perception verbs in Romance, focusing in particular on Pseudo-relatives. They are compared with gerunds and infinitives, which are also used with perception verbs in Romance.
Rappresentare le spazialità complesse. L’esperienza dell’ALS (Atlante linguistico della Sicilia)
2016
Dans cet article, nous nous occuperons des données quantitatives et qualitatives recueillies durant les vingt-cinq dernières années en Sicile. Ces données ont été collectées dans le cadre d’une enquête sur le terrain de grande ampleur qui a intéressé la Sicile entière dans le contexte des activités de l’Atlas linguistique de la Sicile (ALS). En particulier, nous observerons les données sur la perception et sur la représentation des différences linguistiques recueillies à travers trois questions du questionnaire ALS. Nous présenterons aussi une proposition de cartographie pluridimensionnelle de ces données. Pour l’analyse, l’interprétation et la cartographie des données nous avons élaboré un…
Gerunds become prepositional infinitives in Romance Small Clauses: the effects of later Merge to the syntactic spine
2019
This article offers a comparative analysis of ‘predicative’ gerunds (‘PGs’) and prepositional infinitives (‘PIs’), focussing on perception constructions in Spanish (PGs) and European Portuguese (PIs). I demonstrate that these two constructions are diachronically related and that they still have a similar syntax. The evidence discussed suggests that both constructions are Small Clauses headed by a preposition of central coincidence. In PGs, this preposition is merged in a low aspectual projection and incorporates into the verb. In PIs, an evolution of PGs, it is merged later in the structure. This leads to a layering process, i.e. the splitting of a single head into a series of heads and tra…

Phenomenological analysis of drives and their influence on the constitution of world and the self-constitution of consciousness.
Designing Atmospheres. The Role of Aesthetics in the Requalification of Space
2017
The ecological movements of the seventies gave environmental questions the role of key issues in the artistic, architectural and philosophical debate. However, these questions have been mainly dealt with an ecological and scientific approach. It was seldom noticed that both natural and built spaces can be above all conceived of as felt spaces and, furthermore, that their aesthetic qualities are as important as toxicological factors. Although it focussed on the environmental protection and on the harmonious integration of built-up and natural areas, the architectural reflection considers beauty a subordinate factor rather than a prime concern. Although during the recent years it has come bac…
I quartieri e la città di Palermo nelle percezioni degli studenti Approcci qualitativi
2021
Il presente contributo intende riportare le evidenze di una rifles- sione, proposta con l’autorizzazione dei soggetti coinvolti, sulle percezioni e le restituzioni cartografiche – o di immagine – di studenti delle Scuole secondarie superiori di Palermo con i propri quartieri di provenienza. In particolare, sono stati coinvolti, nell’anno scolastico 2018/2019, gli studenti di una classe prima di un corso IeFP (Istruzione e Formazione Professionale) e, per l’anno scolastico 2019/2020, due classi prime e due seconde di un Istituto Tecnico per il Turismo. Nel primo caso si è chiesto di redigere un tema, o un breve elaborato, sul modo in cui il proprio quartiere di residenza venisse vissuto e pe…
