IE *weid- as a Root with Dual Subcategorization Features in the Homeric Poems.
2012
This paper is organized as follows: the first section sketches the theoretical background involved in the case study of Old Greek éidon/óida. As is well known, the aorist éidon takes only an accusative DP-object, while the perfect óida can take either a genitive or an accusative DP-object. Sections 2-5 I aim to prove that the diachronic development of the root *weid- in early Greek must be take into consideration to explain the synchronic phenomenon of dual subcategorization features. This root proves indeed to be polysemous and is split into two different meanings which are lexicalised by means of different bridging contexts and different morphological developments. In section 6 the peculi…
Lexicalization (and defrozeness) in the phraseological constellation formed with the nucleus querer
2021
espanolEste articulo pretende contribuir al conocimiento de la fraseologia historica del espanol a partir del analisis de las combinaciones locucionales formadas con el nucleo verbal querer y con sus voces compuestas con bien- y mal-, como bienquerencia, malquerencia, bienquerer y malquerer. Para ello, se abordara la trayectoria historica de las combinaciones prepositivas por bienquerencia de / por malquerencia de / por bienquerer de / por malquerer de, ancladas todas ellas en un proceso de desfraseologizacion, asi como el analisis de la locucion verbal querer bien (o mal), entendida como el punto de origen en la cadena de lexicalizacion de dicha familia fraseologica EnglishThis article aim…
Notas a la diacronía y la fraseología de andana y traque
2022
El estudio fraseológico del español carece todavía hoy de una obra lexicográfica en la que sus unidades se vean descritas en su historia. Aunque el DHISFRAES llena parcialmente ese vacío, no pocos trabajos han podido detallar la historia de un número importante de unidades fraseológicas. El presente estudio pretende adherirse a ellos, explorando desde los preceptos de la fraseología histórica las unidades fraseológicas que tienen como núcleo andana y traque, ambas palabras diacríticas.
The semantic network of the Latin preposition per: a diachronic investigation.
2011
This paper explores the semantic network of the Latin preposition per (“through”) in a diachronic perspective derived from the analysis of two electronic corpora of 3rd century BCE – 4th century CE (PHI5; Intratext Digital Library). Drawing upon the insights of Cognitive Grammar (e.g. Langacker 1991), we analyze the role of the schematic import of per in the spread from basic to abstract meanings, thus accounting for the interconnections among the various senses of the polysemous entity. This theoretical position is integrated with Croft’s (1991) model of causal structure of events, as well as the results of an extensive analysis of Early Latin (Brucale & Mocciaro fc.), in order to address …
Smottamenti linguistici (e culturali): cambia la lingua, le persone cambiano
2019
Analisi di alcuni mutamenti lessico-sintattici in corso in italiano, con illustrazione del principio che vuole i mutamenti innescati e diffusi non dagli incolti, ma da i semi-colti. Analysis of some lexical-syntactic changes in progress in Italian, with an illustration of the principle that the changes are triggered and spread not by the uncultivated, but by the semi-cultured peolple.
Les premiers dictionnaires médicaux en langue anglaise : glissements diachroniques du spécialisé au non spécialisé
2011
Abstract In the field of languages for specific purposes, the diachronic study of medical dictionaries published in English is a territory that remains largely unchartered. The aim of this study is to pinpoint and analyse the emergence of the first medical glossaries and dictionaries in Great Britain so as to mark out the specialised territory of medical English. The specialised domain, as defined by Michel Petit, and the analysis of the passage from the specialised to the non-specialised domain put forward by Michel Van der Yeught provide the theoretical background to the study, which spans the 17th and 18th century. The corpus comprises both general English dictionaries and the first spec…
Exploration de l’intersection entre l’anglais de spécialité et la littérature : les romans de Tobias Smollett, un « doctor-turned-novelist » du Siècl…
2014
Dans la recherche concernant l’anglais de spécialité, l’approche diachronique de textes littéraires comportant des marques de spécialisation reste rare. Cette étude a pour objectif d’observer l’empan littéraire du XVIIIe siècle en Grande-Bretagne et d’y extraire une œuvre, celle de Tobias Smollett, qui était médecin avant de devenir un romancier très populaire. Tout d’abord, un état des lieux des principales professions et théories médicales est établi afin de comprendre l’influence éventuelle des forces socioprofessionnelles et socioculturelles de l’époque sur son œuvre. Une fois l’auteur replacé dans le contexte littéraire du Siècle des lumières, sa formation et sa carrière professionnell…
Neuere Fragestellungen in der Sprachinseldialektologie
2018
Language islands are the source of many interesting materials in the field of research on language contacts concerning longer time periods in diachronic and synchronous approaches. They are particularly valuable for the research on minority languages and their existence among the majority speaking another language. Wilamowice and Schönwald municipalities represent German language islands in Silesia that date back to the colonization in the Middle Ages. Their research makes it possible not only to analyze their relations with reference to another German dialects but also to capture a wider development mechanisms of language extinction processes as well as the forms of their integration with …
Ladinia dolomitica
2020
Scopo di questo contributo è offrire una panoramica sull’area che viene usualmente definita “Ladinia dolomitica” e sulla varietà linguistica che vi viene tradizionalmente parlata, il ladino. L'articolo descrive brevemente la storia dell'area e dello sviluppo del ladino, e in seguito descrive le caratteristiche fonologiche, morfologiche, sintattiche e lessicali principali del ladino, che lo distinguono dalle vicine varietà italoromanze. In seguito si illustrano le peculiarità linguistiche dei singoli dialetti ladini, che sono parlati ognuno in una valle diversa delle Dolomiti. L'articolo è fortemente innovativo e originale, perché permette di ascoltare i file audio che esemplificano i tratti…
Dalla grammatica alle grammatiche dell’italiano: un’analisi in diacronia dei testi di educazione linguistica (1975-2015)
2021
Il contributo che si propone ha per oggetto un’analisi di un campione di libri di testo di educazione linguistica, prodotti dall’editoria scolastica italiana negli ultimi quarant’anni, al fine di verificare quanto del dibattito teorico sulle varietà e sulle linee di tendenza dell’italiano contemporaneo sia stato accolto negli anni dalla manualistica scolastica e quale “modello di lingua” sia oggi presentato ai discenti. È noto che il panorama linguistico contemporaneo rende inapplicabile un modello grammaticale di tipo tradizionale che non tenga conto del sapere linguistico del parlante e che non faccia dialogare la norma con gli usi concreti. Per esaminare in che modo si siano modificati g…
