On the reception of Wilhelm von Humboldt’s linguistic ideas in the Soviet Union from the late 1920s to the early 1950s
2015
The present article discusses the Soviet reception of Humboldt’s linguistic ideas, focusing on different interpretations of his ideas during the period between the latter half of the 1920s and the early 1950s. While Humboldt’s idea of the inner form of language was an important ingredient in Shpet’s phenomenology, the attitude towards Humboldt changed radically in the late 1920s and early 1930s when the ‘bolshevization’ of the sciences had reached linguistics. The idea that language, nation, and culture are closely interconnected was at odds with the ‘Marxist’ idea of class-language, according to which linguistic diversity derives from the socio-economic characteristics of societies. In the…

Some notes to the language of two late byzantine poems
2019
Los poemas bizantinos titulados Συναξάριον τοῦ τιμημένου γαδάρου y Γαδάρου, λύκου κι ἀλουποὺς διήγησις ὡραία ofrecen un ejemplo significativo y claro de la interacción entre dos variedades lingüísticas opuestas: de un lado, el griego literario empleado para la composición poética; de otro, el griego popular que iba poco a poco ganando terreno con vistas a reemplazar a la lengua antigua.
Function and Sacrality of Philoctetes' Bow
2019
El arco de Filoctetes, como objeto simbólico importante y sagrado de la tragedia homónima de Sófocles, ha sido estudiado en numerosas ocasiones. A pesar de ello, su importancia como arma sagrada merece una revisión que atienda a los contextos religioso y épico de los que bebió Sófocles. Según la teoría tradicional, esta sacralidad deriva de la proveniencia divina del arco, que procede de Heracles. Con todo, en algunos pasajes podría explicarse mejor por la importancia que, en determinados contextos religiosos, adquirían ciertos objetos venerables que eran considerados también sagrados.

The prologue and the fi rst stasimon of Oedipus at Colonus: a comparative study
2017
En este trabajo proponemos un análisis del estásimo primero de la tragedia Edipo en Colono de Sófocles a partir de los versos 16 a 18 del prólogo de la misma obra. La comparación entre ambos pasajes puede ser importante en la medida en que el ἄλσος descrito en el prólogo es presentado como un espacio, dramáticamente importante, que se desarrolla poéticamente en el primer estásimo. Ambas descripciones presentan puntos en común que no sólo pueden ayudarnos a entender mejor la naturaleza de este bosque sagrado, sino también evidencian la programación dramática de los susodichos versos prologales. In this paper we analyze the fi rst stasimon of the tragedy Oedipus at Colonus of Sophocles based …
Tra dottrina grammaticale e ortografia latina: l’Aldina del De Aetna di Pietro Bembo
2016
Diacritical marks introduced by Pietro Bembo with the help of his editor, Aldus Manutius, in the first edition of his dialogue De Aetna form a complex and well-structured system. Although devised for practical purposes, so as to ensure a correct reading and phrasing of the Latin text, this system is clearly based on solid theoretical premises. The decisive factor for its introduction was the experience of editing Greek texts, which became the impulse as well as the basis for the system of diacritical signs. The influence of Latin grammarians (in particular, Servius and Priscianus), who had applied Greek accent theory to Latin language, also played an important part. Within a system essentia…
