From Adjectives to Quantifiers. Evidence from Old and Modern Catalan
2011
La història dels quantificadors indefinits de les llengües romàniques és la història del desenvolupament de nous trets distribucionals per un grup escollit d’adjectius llatins (Company 1991, 1997; Batllori 1998). Aquesta distribució serà responsable de la constitució posterior de la nova subclasse de determinants que anomenem quantificadors. Com s’explica a Zamparelli (2000), l’augment de la complexitat estructural del marge esquerre del SDet suposa l’especialització de paraules que pertanyien a antigues categories per aquestes noves posicions. És així com la posició de quantificador genera la categoria quantificador. Estem devant un procés de llarga durada amb conseqüències que encara són …
The Lithuanian "have" - resultative - a typological curiosum?
2012
ABSTRACT Björn Wiemer. The Lithuanian HAVE-resultative - A Typological Curiosum? Lingua Posnaniensis, vol. LIV (2)/2012. The Poznań Society for the Advancement of the Arts and Sciences. PL ISSN 0079-4740, ISBN 978-83-7654-252-2, pp. 69-81. This article presents the Lithuanian possessive resultative construction with the verb turėti ‘have’ and discusses its place in a typology of forms of resultative constructions. While possessive resultatives with a past passive participle (as in Polish Kolację mamy już przygotowaną lit. ‘We have the dinner already prepared’) are found in areally related as well as other languages, Lithuanian stands out in using an active participle (more precisely: a part…
COMPARING THE MARSHALL PLAN AND THE EUROPEAN NEXT GENERATION UE. Models and Legal Tools of International and Supernational Cooperation to Promote Eco…
2022
The article analyzes and compares the European Recovery Plan of 1948, commonly known as the Marshall Plan, for the reconstruction of Europe after the Second World War (paragraphs 2, 2.1, 2.2), and the Next Generation EU (paragraphs 3, 3.1) through the lens and methods of legal comparison and historical analysis. As the description of the law cannot ignore the historicization of the object of study, such comparison is carried out inductively, through the analysis of the legal mechanisms in their concrete attitudes and the construction of descriptive schemes of facts, having regard to the legal discipline, but also to the functional profiles and the context in which the rules are conceived. T…
History as an explicative recourse and codifying aid in current academic works
2011
This paper analyzes the widespread presence of history and diachronic linguistics in the labour of codification recently carried out by Real Academia Española and Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Española in their new books Nueva gramática de la lengua española and Ortografía de la lengua española. These works draw on a wide-ranging and reliable corpus of examples from previous historical periods.
On temporal deixis and cognitive models in early Indo-European
2013
Crosslinguistic evidence suggest that there are two different (often coexistent) basic cognitive models for time, on the basis of which the world’s languages express time in terms of conceptual metaphor from the source spatial domain to the target temporal domain: i) the Time-based (Time-Reference-Point) model, in which time is conceptualized in terms of sequentially arrayed objects moving in space, so that a temporal event is relative to another earlier or later temporal event; ii) the Ego-based (Ego-Reference-Point) model, which is considered to have a more complex structure in which times are conceptualized as objects relative to a canonical deictic observer (Ego) located at the hic et n…
Ricostruire la diacronia della sintassi ladino-dolomitica con l'aiuto di Joppi. Il caso dei costrutti percettivi
2016
L'articolo discute la duplice variazione che riguarda i costrutti percettivi delle varietà ladine: da un lato l'uso di due forme verbali diverse (gerundi e infiniti preposizionali), e dall'altro le differenze tra questi costrutti in ladino e nelle varietà iberoromanze. Sulla base dei dati tratti principalmente dalla raccolta di testi friuliani di Vincenzo Joppi (1878), si mostrerà come le peculiarità dei costrutti percettivi ladini siano dovute al loro carattere conservativo, ma anche a un'innovazione interna al ladino. This article suggests that a diachronic analysis of a specific syntactic phenomenon in Romance allows us to formulate hypotheses that can be extended to those varieties that…
Lexico-semantic change: salpuscar ‘to splash’ and variants, a small enigma
2018
Aquest article mostra quin degué ser l’origen del verb salpuscar i la variant salbuscar, sinònim de l’actual esquitar o esquitxar . Subratlla les possibilitats que ofereixen els corpus textuals digitals i la necessitat de tenir present l’estudi contrastiu de llengües (especialment d’atendre l’occità) i la història de la cultura quan es fa semàntica i lexicologia diacròniques del català. Així mateix, s’hi apliquen nocions bàsiques de la semàntica cognitiva en l’estudi del canvi lingüístic. This article shows what must have been the origin of the Catalan verb salpuscar and its variant salbuscar, synonym of the current verb esquitar o esquitxar (‘to splash’). It highlights the possibilities of…

Favara Farm Cultural Park. Una sequenza non lineare. A non-linear sequence
2018
Questo saggio propone una riflessione sulla Farm Cultural Parck come luogo in trasformazione. Il progetto Farm descrive una vita quotidiana che non è attratta dalle tendenze della moda. Per questo motivo, come in un viaggio diacronico, si descrive la trasformazione urbana latente e l'emergere di una nuova consapevolezza nella difficile situazione locale. This essay proposes a reflection on the Farm Cultural Parck as a place in transformation. The Farm project describes a daily life that is not attracted to fashion trends. For this reason, as in a diachronic trip, we describe the latent urban transformation and the emergence of a new awareness in the difficult local situation.
"Memorie dal sottosuolo". Una prospettiva di indagine sul simbolismo rituale delle feste religiose "tradizionali"
2017
In 1945, writing about the procession of Our Lady of Viggiano, Carlo Levi presents us a peasant world characterized by archaic beliefs and ritual practices, another world « where seasons run on peasant fatigue, [...] like three thousand years before Christ », a world « veiled with black veils, fiery and earthly [...] which you do not enter without a key of magic ». If that other world of the peasants seems to have come to an end today, the beliefs, practices and ritual symbols of reputed “pre-Christian” precedence or in any case alien to the official liturgy, as witnessed by Levi and many other narrators and demoanthropologists from the 19th and 20th century are not, however, definitively l…
