Milo De Angelis: il lessico del ritorno e del topos tra finitudine e assoluto

2021

Tema dell’articolo è il lessico nella poesia di Milo De Angelis analizzato attraverso i temi fondanti della poetica: adolescenza, ritorno, topos. Al centro dell’universo lessicale viene collocato e discusso anche quel particolare stato di tensione che percorre i testi del poeta e che li caratterizza in maniera distintiva. Dotato di persistenza e privo di accidentalità, esso si manifesta in addensamenti polarizzati, giungendo a coinvolgere anche la diade finitudine vs indefinitezza. Il discorso sul lessico, quindi, è condotto all’interno del complesso e variegato diasistema di lingua e pensiero deangelisiano del quale vengono presi in conto le articolazioni testuali più rilevanti. L’analisi …

Representation

2020

Representation is a primitive notion of many philosophical theories and of cognitive science. It is assumed as an intuitively understandable label assigned to the functions by which a biological or an artificial agent takes part in the world in an epistemological or a behavioral manner. It is employed to define the conditions for the semantic individuation of the states of the agent. The notion of representation was introduced systematically in the Scholastics’ view of cognition. In modern philosophy, the term is often used as a verb. Representation becomes the function of a class of mental states. In contemporary philosophy, the debate over the semantic individuation of states is intertwin…

Towards a unified process model for graphemic buffer disorder and deep dysgraphia

2006

Models based on the competitive queuing (CQ) approach can explain many of the effects on dysgraphic patients’ spelling attributed to disruption of the “graphemic output buffer”. Situating such a model in the wider spelling system, however, raises the question of what happens when input to the buffer (e.g., from a semantic system) is degraded while the buffer remains intact. We present a preliminary exploration of predictions following from the CQ approach. We show that the CQ account of the graphemic buffer predicts and explains the finding that deep dysgraphic patients generally show features of graphemic buffer disorder, as disrupted input from a damaged semantic system has an inevitable …

The impact of deep dysgraphia on graphemic output buffer disorders

2004

This article describes an investigation into the residual writing skills of a severely dysgraphic patient (DA). We found that they were powerfully influenced by a number of lexical variables (lexicality, frequency, imageability, length and geminates). His error pattern was characterized by semantic, lexical, substitution, deletion errors and fragment responses that preserved the first letter. Thus, DA's written spelling was characterized by both deep dysgraphic and graphemic output buffer effects. It is proposed that this pattern of performance represents a new "putative functional syndrome."

Interazione tra diversi codici attenzionali: spazio e semantica

2010

The asymmetric distribution of human spatial attention has been repeatedly documented in both patients and healthy controls. Biases in the distribution of attention and/or in the mental representation of space may also affect some aspects of language processing. The present talk will be focused whether biases in attention and/or mental representation of space affect semantic representations. In particular, we investigated whether semantic judgments could be modulated by the location in space where the semantic information was presented and the role of the left and right parietal cortices in this task. Findings suggest the existence of an attentional and/or mental representational bias in se…

Quasi conjunction and p-entailment in nonmonotonic reasoning

2010

We study, in the setting of coherence, the extension of a probability assessment defined on n conditional events to their quasi conjunction. We consider, in particular, two special cases of logical dependencies; moreover, we examine the relationship between the notion of p-entailment of Adams and the inclusion relation of Goodman and Nguyen. We also study the probabilistic semantics of the QAND rule of Dubois and Prade; then, we give a theoretical result on p-entailment.

Extending the semiotics of embodied interaction to blended spaces.

2015

In this paper, we develop a new way of understanding interactions in blended spaces. We do this by developing ideas about embodied semiotics and then apply these ideas to the analysis of interaction in mixed-reality blended spaces (where the physical world and digital world are blended deliberately to provide new forms of interaction). We discuss how blended spaces provide a new medium within which people have experiences. The semiotic analysis reveals how blended spaces are constructed across the physical and the digital, highlighting the ontology, topology, volatility, and agency present within them. It shows how people move between the physical and digital spaces through the objects and …
