The author offers a reconstruction of the typical modality of application of the general clauses, represented by their concretization. The latter takes place through the use, by the judge, of the the principles of the legal sistem, both of those specific to each specific sector, and of those of constitutional law.

Free trade or fair trade? Possible scenarios in the light of the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement
2021
The present work focuses on the EU-Japan Partnership Agreement, whose consolidated text was finalized on December 2017, having regard to the protection of social rights: in this regard a specific attention will be paid to the EPA chapter on trade and sustainable development and to the negotiations of the Investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) clause, taking into account the current EU approach as formalized in other recent trade agreements.
L'identità costituzionale degli Stati membri dell'Unione europea nella recente giurisprudenza della Corte di giustizia
2015
Negli ultimi anni, la Corte di giustizia dell’Unione europea si è pronunciata sul significato e sulle funzioni della clausola d’identità costituzionale degli Stati membri, contenuta nell’art. 4, par. 2, TUE. L’articolo mostra come, in questa giurisprudenza, la funzione della clausola non sia quella di superare l’idea del primato assoluto del diritto dell’Unione, ma di prevenire conflitti tra il diritto dell’Unione e le costituzioni degli Stati membri. In particolare, il rispetto dell’identità costituzionale è stato utilizzato ai tre scopi seguenti: a) per giustificare restrizioni alle libertà di movimento; b) per proteggere il diritto degli Stati membri di scegliere forme e mezzi nell’attua…
Pseudo-relatives and their left-periphery
2016
In this article I propose a new analysis of Pseudo-Relative clauses ('PRs') within the Cartographic model (Rizzi 1997 a.o.). Heretofore, the apparently contradictory behaviour of PRs in the syntactic tests used to determine their structure has been very problematic. Based on new data from Italian, I show that PRs are Small Clauses with a ForceP projection. Moreover, I explain the inconsistent results of the syntactic tests by claiming that PRs can be embedded in different syntactic environments. More specifically, they can be inserted as 'bare' Small Clauses into the matrix clause or be part of a bigger structure: i.e., a Complex-DP, a locative adjunction or a 'Larsonian' structure.
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.
La costruzione 'con + DP + pseudorelativa': proposta per una duplice interpretazione
2015
This chapter deals with the so-called "absolute construction", an adverbial prepositional phrase headed by the preposition 'con' ('with') followed by a noun and a pseudo-relative clause (e.g. "Con Maria che piange, non possiamo uscire"). The main aim of the chapter is to show that Pseudo-relative clauses can have three different structures, and that two different types are used in the absolute construction, depending on the degree of syntactic integration of the prepositional phrase in the main clause. Fronted 'con'-clauses select a pseudo-relative clause with clausal status (CP), while sentence-final 'con'-clauses, which are more integrated, select a pseudo-relative clause with nominal sta…

Old French Parataxis: syntactic variant or stylistic variation?
2012
The existence of paratactic constructions in Old French is a well-known fact, as in the following: Co sent Rollanto la veue ad perdue‘Roland feels (that) he has lost his sight’ (Chanson de Roland2297). These structures alternate with structures containing que: Co sent Rollant que s’espee li tolt‘Roland feels that his sword has been taken from him’ (Chanson de Roland2284). Although traditional philologists note that different types of asyndetic subordinate clauses exist, they do not provide an explanation of how and why such structures alternate with those introduced by que. Moreover, a detailed analysis reveals that the distribution of paratactic constructions does not seem to be homogeneou…
Interrogative Clauses across CEFR Levels in Finnish and Swedish as an L2
2014
The present study investigates the frequency of three types of interrogative clauses in 329 semi-formal email messages written by language learners of Finnish and of Swedish spoken in Finland. All the written messages were assessed according to the Common European Framework of Reference by trained language professionals. The study is part of a larger research project, Topling, conducted at the University of Jyväskylä. For the purpose of the study, the interrogative clauses were divided into three categories: yes/no questions, wh-questions and subordinate interrogative clauses. We examined the frequencies according to the levels of language proficiency. The findings show that, in both langua…
