A geometrical constructive approach to infinitesimal analysis: epistemological potential and boundaries of tractional motion
2014
Recent foundational approaches to Infinitesimal Analysis are essentially algebraic or computational, whereas the first approaches to such problems were geometrical. From this perspective, we may recall the seventeenth-century investigations of the “inverse tangent problem.” Suggested solutions to this problem involved certain machines, intended as both theoretical and actual instruments, which could construct transcendental curves through so-called tractional motion. The main idea of this work is to further develop tractional motion to investigate if and how, at a very first analysis, these ideal machines (like the ancient straightedge and compass) can constitute the basis of a purely geome…
Alcune riflessioni storico-critiche sul cosiddetto “paradosso di Duval”
2013
In 1993 a famous article by Raymond Duval highlighted a simple fact: students confuse the mathematical object O, that they are trying to build cognitively, with one of its semiotic representations R(O); he explained that this confusion was due to a sort of inevitable paradox: only someone who has already built O, can recognize R(O) as a representation of O and not as an object in itself. This idea has been extremely influential for researchers in the following years. However, many scholars of semiotics have emphasized the same phenomenon, even if in not quite the same words; in this paper we are going to mention some of them.
Ragioneria per le discipline economiche, sociali e statistiche
2010
La monografia dà un'impostazione sistematica alla disciplina in oggetto secondo una rivisitazione critica rispetto alle correnti concezioni della medesima. La prima parte, dedicata alla parte "generale", è rivolta ad ogni classe di azienda, e tocca anche i temi meta-disciplinari della stessa: epistemologia, metodologia, sistematica e relazioni con l'economia generale. La seconda parte, "applicata", tratta i linguaggi della Ragioneria con riferimento alle sue principali determinazioni, private o pubbliche, rivolte a soggetti esterni o interni
La ragioneria come conoscenza semiotica amministrativa: fondamenti generali e su linguaggi e regionalità
2014
Provided that the Ragioneria (roughlynearly “Accounting”) is a discipline of administrative semiotic knowledge, Paragraph 1 of the paper poses some systematic premises. Then Paragraph 2 deals with several very general fundamentals on semiotic activities and semiotic disciplines, on one hand, and forms of “trace inscriptions” and canonic dimensions of “width”, “height” and “depth” of Ragioneria, on the other hand; finally it identifies the languages as a sort of fil rouge for the formation and fruition of the signs of the entire discipline is suggested. Then Paragraph 3 deals with the principal language types of Ragioneria, highlighting the opportu-nity of tending to “stronger” languages as …
Cracking the Code : The Impact of Orthographic Transparency and Morphological-Syllabic Complexity on Reading and Developmental Dyslexia
2019
Reading is an essential skill in modern societies, yet not all learners necessarily become proficient readers. Theoretical concepts (e.g., the orthographic depth hypothesis; the grain size theory) as well as empirical evidence suggest that certain orthographies are easier to learn than others. The present paper reviews the literature on orthographic transparency, morphological complexity, and syllabic complexity of alphabetic languages. These notions are elaborated to show that differences in reading acquisition reflect fundamental differences in the nature of the phonological recoding and reading strategies developing in response to the specific orthography to be learned. The present paper…
Codici trapanesi: busiate (con il pesto) e cuscus (di pesce)
2020
Se ogni gastrosfera, come ogni semiosfera, è inserita all’interno di un gioco di scatole cinesi, tali per cui può essere considerata come parte inglobata in una gastrosfera più ampia o parte inglobante di una più ristretta, in questo contributo si propone un’incursione in una porzione della gastrosfera siciliana, andando a considerare due piatti tipici della zona del trapanese, molto diversi tra loro, ma per certi versi anche molto simili: il cuscus (la cui variante più tipica è quella con il pesce) e le busiate (un formato di pasta che trova il suo accompagnamento migliore nel pesto locale). Ripercorriamo brevemente le due ricette a partire dalle istruzioni per la preparazione fornite dai …
Recipe Books and the Structure of Recipes
2020
Learning to cook is no easy task. It takes time and patience, hard work and plenty of passion. Sometimes it can take years and a certain predisposition is necessary. As a result, many give up and few are truly successful. But teaching to cook is equally difficult. In the kitchen, when the teacher and their apprentices are in direct contact working together, things are relatively simple. The teacher carefully demonstrates the various steps to follow when preparing a particular dish or stock or sauce. The appren tices listen and, most importantly, play close attention. Then, slowly, tasting as they go, and - most importantly - imitating the teacher’s movements and gesture, they are able to at…
Keywords and lexical bundles within English pharmaceutical discourse: A corpus-driven description
2015
Abstract Little attention has been paid so far to keywords and lexical bundles used in the English language typical of the pharmaceutical field. Conducted from a register-perspective (Biber & Conrad, 2009), this exploratory and descriptive research is intended to fill in the gap in corpus linguistics studies on phraseology and register variation within written English pharmaceutical discourse. More specifically, this empirical study presents a corpus-driven description of the use and functions of keywords (top-50 by keyness) complemented by a similar description of lexical bundles (top-50 by frequency) used across samples of patient information leaflets, summaries of product characteristics…
Le culte en quête de signes. Une lecture de la campagne du « Denier de l’Église »
2010
Using a semiotic approach, this article analyses the communication actions of the Catholic Church, from a de-centred point of view. Indeed, rather than focusing on the communicational values of the evangelical message, we examine the way that the Church communicates outside its institutional and spiritual sphere, in the profane world of the media, through the example of the "campagne du Denier" fundraising campaign. This is both a fundraising activity, and a message aimed at Catholics, in a sector - public charity and donations - which is highly competitive. As a result, the Church must (re)define its position, the public that it constructs through its discourse, and its discourse itself, i…
