Figure–Ground Spatial Relationships in Finnish Sign Language Discourse
2020
AbstractThis study is about expressing spatial relationships between Figure and Ground in Finnish Sign Language discourse and shows that the variation in this expression is primarily discourse dependent. The main findings are, first, that Ground mainly precedes Figure whether the Figure is new or a known referent within the discourse; the reverse order is possible only when the Figure is known. Second, the lexical signolla(‘have’) appears more frequently in expressing spatial relationships with a new Figure and less frequently with a known Figure but never in a construction with Figure preceding Ground; the formoli(‘had’), referring to the past, appears only in Figure preceding Ground const…
Carlo Scarpa e la sala del dubbio di palazzo Abatellis
2016
Questo articolo descrive, da un disegno di studio e da foto d'archivio, la sala del dubbio in divenire al processo di progettazione. E' uno sguardo alla realizzazione di Scarpa con la consapevolezza che le forme e gli allestimenti di palazzo Abatellis, stabiscono alla scala di dettaglio; "raccontare" di possibili somiglianze tra il dispositivo e le relazioni spaziali che si instaura con gli occhi del visitatore. This paper describes, from a study design and the photo archive, the challenge of the lost set-up in the making that the design process. It's a look at the making Scarpa with the knowledge that forms and exhibitions for Abatellis palace, established the scale of detail; "recount" of…
Species richness of migratory birds is influenced by global climate change
2007
Aim Global climate change is increasingly influencing ecosystems. Long-term effects on the species richness and composition of ecological communities have been predicted using modelling approaches but, so far, hardly demonstrated in the field. Here, we test whether changes in the composition of bird communities have been influenced by recent climate change. Location Europe. Methods We focus on the proportion of migratory and resident bird species because these groups are expected to respond differently to climatic change. We used the spatial relationship between climatic factors and bird communities in Europe to predict changes in 21 European bird communities under recent climate change.…
Spazio e percorso in siciliano antico: analisi di un corpus
2020
In ancient Sicilian, basic spatial relations are encoded by means of prepositional phrases introduced by ‘da’ and ‘di’ (origin), ‘a’, ‘in’ and ‘intra’ (location and direction), ‘per/pir/pri’ (path). This contribution offers a description of these encoding means based on the examination of a corpus of Sicialian texts of the 14th to 16th centuries. The analysis is carried out against a cognitive grammar theoretical background and takes into account the existing studies on spatial relations in the world languages. These studies brought to light some recurring patterns: for instance, ‘direction’ tends to be encoded in a more articlulated way than ‘origin’, while the encoding of ‘path’ seems to …
L’istinto della bellezza. Carlo Scarpa a Palermo. Studi sullo Steri. 1972-1978
2022
Il volume indaga l’istinto di Carlo Scarpa (1906-1978) verso la bellezza. Da progettista, Santo Giunta si pone l’obiettivo di comprendere come il maestro veneziano, ritornando a Palermo agli inizi degli anni ‘70, sia riuscito a catturare, nella fisicità dello spazio costruito di palazzo Chiaromonte, detto Steri (Hosterium, palazzo fortificato), le relazioni essenziali tra questa architettura, opera trecentesca, e la città contemporanea. La chiave che l’autore ci offre per decifrare quest’opera di Scarpa è il cammino, l’immergersi passo dopo passo nell’architettura, in un percorso-discorso peripatetico. Il maestro veneziano, per lo Steri, ha innescato un processo di rivitalizzazione basato s…
