Managing Relations: a study of positioning strategies in British international discourse
2008
This work deals with corpus-assisted research into speaker ideological positioning in the language of diplomacy. It concentrates on the resources used by the foreign minister Margaret Beckett to construe the speaker “orientation” (Lemke 1992) through the analysis of the main participant in the discourse that is international community and the subject matter being debated namely terrorism. The findings have shown assertiveness and determination from the speaker by the use of contractive mechanisms. The image of the international community is based on cooperation and unity just like a family and it is appraised mainly through judgements of tenacity. These are the resources required to fight t…
Contradictions of Gender and ‘Imaginative’ Representations of a (Post-)colonial Nation. E. Brodber’s Myal, A. Roy’s The God of Small Things and B. Ev…
2006
The article illustrates the ways in which the productive theoretical conflation of feminist critique and (post)colonial studies makes it possible to demonstrate that the implications of the category of gender and 'race' allow Erna Brodber's Myal (1988), Bernardine Evaristo's Lara (1997) and Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things (1997) to contribute to imaginatively reshaping the postcolonial nation.

Translation and bilingualism in Monica Ali's and Jhumpa Lahiri's Marginalised Identitties
2012
This study, drawing upon contemporary theories in the field of migration, postcolonialism, and translation, offers an analysis of literary works by Monica Ali and Jhumpa Lahiri. Ali and Lahiri epitomize second-generation immigrant literature, play with the linguistic concept of translating and interpreting as forms of hybrid connections, and are significant examples of how a text may become a space where multi-faceted identities co-habit in a process of deconstructing and reconstructing their own sense of emplacement in non-native places. Each immigrant text becomes a hybrid site, where second- and third generations of immigrant subjects move as mobile, fluctuating and impermanent identitie…
Prefaces in medical dictionaries: from moves to rhetorical analysis
2017
Medical dictionaries represent, among the other things, an important pedagogic genre (Swales 1995, Bhatia, 1997, Hyland 2000) within academic education, since they are the means through which professional writers talk about their disciplines and address to scholars. The preface sections are of the utmost importance since, among several functions, they (should) attract and orient the readers (Azar, 2012). This paper describes the macro structure of preface sections in fourteen English dictionaries related to the field of medicine and investigates on the rhetorical and discursive devices employed in these texts to establish the importance of the author's work. In addition, the paper questions…
Il linguaggio informatico inglese e italiano: considerazioni su alcuni aspetti lessicali dal confronto tra le due lingue.
2005
Nel corso di quest'ultimo ventennio lo studio dei linguaggi specialistici ha ricevuto un'attenzione sempre maggiore, parallelamente alla rapida espansione della letteratura tecnico-scientifica in diversi campi del sapere. Uno degli ambiti specialistici in costante evoluzione è senza dubbio quello informatico. Proprio la terminologia connessa con lo sviluppo di questo specifico settore sarà qui assunta a oggetto di analisi e di riflessione. Più precisamente, taluni aspetti terminologici del linguaggio informatico inglese verranno messi a confronto con i corrispondenti aspetti del linguaggio informatico italiano così che emergano sia certi tratti peculiari dell'uno e dell'altro, sia rilevanti…

Comunità e autonomia: Unione Europea e European Social Discourse
2012
Dal un punto di vista della discourse analysis, strategie vincenti di regolamento e controllo creano nuovi sistemi di discorso e linguaggio, ovvero nuove configurazioni e strutture discorsive. Tuttavia, il dominio o supremazia delle suddette non potrà mai essere completo e definitivo, dal momento che strategie alternative e/o di segno opposto alle dominanti (alle quali corrisponderanno diversi gruppi di potere e rispettive configurazioni e strutture di discorso) tenteranno di imporre il proprio controllo e supremazia. Il fenomeno della globalizzazione, pertanto, non può ridursi ad un mero processo omogeneizzante, quasi una sorta di meccanica diffusione generale e globale di modelli e strutt…
La baia dei sogni: poesia e memoria pubblica in Migrante di Wole Soyinka
2019
On March 10, 2015, the mayor of Catania, Enzo Bianco, inaugurated a monumental mausoleum in the city's cemetery to commemorate 17 people who had lost their lives to the Mediterranean the year before. Their corpses were found in the waters around Lampedusa, whose small cemetery, in former mayor Giusi Nicolini's words, could not spatially 'welcome' any more bodies to bury. Not only did Bianco offer them a burial place in his city but he also had engraved on each of the 17 graves a verse of Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka's recent poem Migrants, a powerful reflection on exile and migration as an act of resistance, written for the poetry anthology Migrazioni/Migrations. Bianco also commissioned a s…
