Tradurre lo Yoga
2022
Il presente articolo descrive in maniera dettagliata il lavoro svolto e le tecniche traduttive utilizzate per tradurre dall’inglese all’italiano il testo Contemporary Yoga Education: Transforming the Body, Mind and Soul. In particolare, è stata applicata la teoria della ‘naturalizzazione’, in cui il processo traduttivo non viene visto come un mero passaggio dalla lingua di partenza alla lingua di arrivo, ma come un meccanismo più ampio in cui la lingua di partenza su- bisce una trasformazione per adattarsi alla lingua di arrivo e la lingua di arrivo, a sua volta, va incontro a cambiamenti per accogliere e incorporare, attraverso le proprie risorse, quelle cioè sue naturali, la lingua di par…
Online trends, linguistic innovation and further implications in the language of the online consultation: a case study
2016
Integrating a corpus linguistic approach with content analysis and studies on computer mediated health discourse (Harvey and Koteyko, 2013), this study analyses the role of technology in healthcare communication and considers the evolutions in the doctor-patient exchange. Considering interactional norms, and the new literacy of online forum users (Jensen, Fage-Butler, 2014), this study investigates the trends and the linguistic patterns as well as the nature of digital doctor-patient exchanges in online question/ answer format frames, since specification of roles has changed and linguistic exchanges have evolved into different outcomes. In addition, the medium imposes its norms and a totall…
Patterns of Use of English Synonymous Medical Terms: the Case of Disease and Illness. A Corpus-Based Study
2010
It often happens that terms defined by dictionaries as synonyms have different patterns of use. An example of this phenomenon is represented by the terminological pair disease/illness in medical discourse. The behaviour of these commonly used terms will be an object of discussion in this study. The work is divided into two main sections. The first part takes into account the information included in conventional dictionaries, both bilingual and monolingual, generic and specialized, in order to see if the terms in question are described as perfectly interchangeable or as having different uses depending on the context. Some dictionaries highlight the use, both specific and generic, respectivel…
Political Discourse as Culture and Ideology
2009
This book explores the way in which pronominal relations and rhetorical strategies in political discourse determine the relationship speaker/audience, thus conditioning both the discourse organizational structures and the development of ideological content. The texts themselves are analysed from three different points of view: (i) in terms of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA); (ii) in terms of rhetorical analysis; (iii) in terms of ideological content. More specifically, the intergration of rhetorical analysis into Critical Discourse Analysis is relevant and allows us to understand the realationship between linguistic structures on the one hand, and how these structures are designed to infl…
Reading figurative images in the political discourse of the British Press
2017
The present work aims to study visual metaphors and multimodal metaphors in the political cartoons published in the British press during the Brexit campaign. The theoretical approach adopted draws upon the theories elaborated by Halliday (), Forceville (; ), Ruiz de Mendoza and Diez (), and Hart (), with the objective of identifying the three analytical steps that lead to the conceptual frames structuring the political event under investigation. Results show the extent to which the visual representation of the Brexit campaign proposes novel and original perspectives of interpretation, and further evidence of the relevance of metaphors and metonymies in the narration of e…
Deeds not words’: Emmeline Pankhurst and the vote for women
2013
Women born in the nineteenth century had little chance of escaping the role that was considered their destiny - to marry young, stay home and raise a family. Campaigners like Millicent Fawcett and Elizabeth Garret Anderson carried out a personal and largely peaceful struggle to improve chances of an education and open professions like medicine to women. In the early part of the century ‘the suffragists’ were unsuccessful in their immediate objective, although they still exist in the form of one of the British main research and lobbying groups working on behalf of women, the Fawcett Society. In 1889, an English woman Emmeline Pankhurst founded the Women's Franchise League, which fought to al…
OF RAINSTORMS AND BUS STOPS PIOGGIA E COLORE NELLA POESIA POP INGLESE
2009
This paper aims to demonstrate how much Adrian Henri’s poetry changed in his last years. As a member of the Liverpool Poets together with Roger McGough and Brian Patten, Adrian Henri was attracted by what Edward Lucie-Smith called ‘performativity’. The three of them very often played public readings. Their poetry was a real ‘oral’ literature, lyrical, as only British poetry can be. Mortified by a heart attack in the late ‘90s, Henri changed his life and literary stile, adopting a more subjective and romantic use of the words, whose main power was to be evocative as well as rich in symbols.
The Web Participatory Environment: a New Genre in Health Exchange
2014
The Internet has provided new and expanded means of communication, incorporating all forms of discourse and registers, including that of medical discussion. Certain sites, in fact, specialise in healthcare and provide information, offering direct access to counsellors (medical professionals qualified to provide advice) and forums in which the role of participants is that of potential nonspecialists who share opinions, gather information on healthrelated issues and ambiguous medical meanings. The benefits of a healthrelated online forum lie in its ability to quickly and conveniently connect people to both important information and to other people with knowledge regarding a specific health…
