Progressive and predicative constructions with gerund in Romance. A contrastive analysis
2018
Progressive and predicative constructions formed with gerund are present in numerous Romance languages. In the literature, these two types of construction have often been considered as syntactically analogous. Through the application of syntactic tests, this study will show that, despite a number of similarities, progressive and predicative constructs with gerund are characterized by a different structure.

Vuliri + PP nei dati dell’Atlante Linguistico della Sicilia
2016
Il contributo mira a descrivere alcune perifrasi del siciliano contemporaneo, in cui una forma flessa del verbo "vuliri" (volere) è costruita con il participio passato (PP) di un verbo lessicale. E' stata condotta un’analisi sistematica delle occorrenze delle tre costruzioni ricavabili dalle inchieste socio-variazionali dell’Atlante Linguistico della Sicilia (ALS). L’analisi, collocata sullo sfondo dell’esistente letteratura di riferimento si è focalizzata sui seguenti aspetti: 1) diffusione areale e produttività nel siciliano contemporaneo e nell’italiano regionale di Sicilia secondo un approccio variazionale; 2) frequenza relativa dei tre tipi e loro caratteristiche semantiche e formali; …
Strutture tempo-aspettuali nel siciliano e nell'italiano regionale di Sicilia
2020
Starting from the data collected for Linguistic Atlas of Sicily (translation questionnaire, speech, ethnotexts) we propose a description of the Time and Aspect system of the varieties of contemporary Sicilian and regional Italian of Sicily. In particular, the expression of temporality is examined both in relation to the narration of past events and the existence of a Future Tense in Sicilian. The expression of Aspect is examinated through the use of synthetic and periphrastic structures. Without pretension of exhaustiveness, the description returns the uses of the speakers differentiated by age, level of education and language of first socialization and contributes to delineate a framework …

Repertori paremiologici tra meteorologia, paesaggio agrario, mondo animale e spazialità geografico-culturale
2020
The work focusses on a “geolinguistic” analysis of a group of proverbs from the area of Madonie (Sicily) collected in Sottile-Genchi (2011). The aim of the article is to shed light on the relation between the paremiologic repertoire and the main geographic and cultural features characterising the geographic area. In particular, this aspect implies both a paremiologic (micro)variation depending on the geomorphological peculiarities of each spot and an analysis of the relationship among those (humans and animals) who share the same places by which discover old superstitions and a specific socio-cultural background.
Towards a classification of Sicilian object experiencer psych-verbs.
2021
In this article we report the results of two surveys of object experiencer psych verbs conducted under the auspices of the Sicilian Linguistic Atlas. Two questionnaires were administered to 105 and, respectively, 25 dialect native speakers, and the results were analysed quantitatively using Rbrul (Johnson 2019). In accordance with the objectives of the Sicilian Linguistic Atlas, we measured the relevance of the variables age, education and provenance to the variation in the grammar of the verbs under scrutiny. We also applied the same statistical methods to the study of the correlation of verb classes with a number of morphosyntactic patterns. In light of our findings, we propose a lexico-s…
