A syntactic analysis of the subject clitic a in the Friulian variety of Campone
2015
This article presents a syntactic analysis of the third person subject clitic a in Camponese, a heretofore unstudied Friulian variety. Following Poletto's (2000) map of subject clitics, we argue that it bears [+third person] features, and is, in fact, the spell-out of the functional head Subj°, located in the highest projection of TP (following Rizzi & Shlonsky 2007). In the first part of the article, we offer a detailed description of the distribution and syntactic properties of the subject clitic a, identifying its position in relation to the other elements that occur in the CP and TP. In the second part we discuss two proposals put forward to account for split clitics like a-l in the…
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.
Introduzione al Manuale di linguistica ladina
2020
Il capitolo presenta le finalità e la struttura del Manuale di linguistica ladina. In particolare, si discutono le principali questioni definitorie riguardo al glottonimo ed etnonimo ladino, si giustifica la delimitazione del ladino brissinotirolese, oggetto del Manuale, mediante una combinazione di criteri sia di linguistica interna che esterna, che vengono illustrati singolarmente, e infine si prospettano alcuni desiderata nell’ambito della ricerca scientifica sul ladino. This chapter discusses the aims and the structure of the Manuale di linguistica ladina. It focuses in particular on the main classifying issues about "Ladin" used as language name as well as ethnic defiinition; on the co…

Fautes musicales et fautes textuelles dans les lais lyriques transmis par les chansonniers du Roi (M) et de Noailles (T)
2020
In this contribution we shall present some anomalies in the musical notation of the anonymous lyric lais transmitted by French chansonniers M and T (i.e. Kievrefoil, Markiol and Nompar), which share the same source, and to which a recently discovered chansonnier fragment (Bo) can be added. The plural attestation of these heterostrophic texts allows to nuance the strict notion of musical error, advocated by John H. Marshall for this very corpus. Finally, we discuss an interesting case (Nompar, str. X) where musical notation can effectively help the reconstruction of a text corrupted in both witnesses.
Un nuovo manoscritto di canzoni siciliane con ottave inedite attribuite ad Antonio Veneziano
2020
Si presenta una nuova antologia manoscritta di canzoni siciliane, conservata a Catania presso un privato e databile intorno al 1600, che contiene una cospicua sezione di più di cinquanta ‘ottave’ intestate a vari autori accanto a 349 'canzuni' in massima parte adespote. Il manoscritto fu donato da un certo Lelio, da identificare probabilmente con Lelio Pavese (ob. 1608), a Paolo Pozzobonelli (1572-1630), entrambi nobili savonesi. nel segmento finale del manoscritto si rinviene una pregevole serie di ventidue ottave encomiastiche e di prigionia attribuite ad Antonio Veneziano “carcerato” e indirizzate a Francesco Santapau, principe di Butera, tra il 1588 e il 1590: se ne dà l’edizione commen…
Giraldi e Pigna sui romanzi: una polemica in contesto
2013
The essay reconstructs the polemic between Giraldi and Pigna as a generational and ideological gap: Giraldi and Pigna are seen in their dialogue with their literary interlocutors (Castelvetro, Speroni, Bocchi), against the background of the historical transition from humanistic culture, founded on the primacy of history and trust in nature, to a new philosophical culture, characterized by a disposition towards allegory and a process of professionalization of intellectual works.
The Pseudo-Relatives and other Correspondent Constructions in the Romance Languages
2013
This chapter deals with the use of different construction selected by perception verbs in Romance, focusing in particular on Pseudo-relatives. They are compared with gerunds and infinitives, which are also used with perception verbs in Romance.
IL "SICULO-ARABIC" E GLI ARABISMI MEDIEVALI E MODERNI DI SICLIA
2013
IL «SICULO ARABIC» E GLI ARABISMI SICILIANI MEDIEVALI E MODERNI Nell’ambito degli studi sulla vicenda storico-linguistica del periodo arabo-normanno in Sicilia, il saggio di Agius (1996), dal titolo Siculo Arabic, richiama l’attenzione sul Trattato di Ibn Makkī detto “il Mazarese”, rientrante nel filone dei “laḥn works”. Si tratta di opere volte a segnalare e correggere gli errori ricorrenti tra gli utenti delle diverse varietà di arabo, errori intesi come devianze dal modello classico. La possibilità di disporre di una discreta quantità di dati presumibilmente “siciliani” (dati “interferiti” e “sgrammaticati” possibilmente riconducibili a una “varietà ponte” tra l’arabo e gli arabismi dial…
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…
