Il ruolo del contatto tra varietà tedesche e romanze nella costruzione «verbo più locativo»
2016
In this article we examine some effects of language contact in the multilingual province of Trento, where Romance and Germanic varieties have been in contact for centuries. We focus on the syntax of phrasal verbs (e. g. ‘go out’, ‘get away’) in Trentin, a Romance dialect group, in Fassan, a Rhaeto-romance variety, and in Cimbrian, a German(ic) minority language. In particular, we deal with two word order phenomena which might be attributed to contact with the more prestigious or widespread varieties spoken in the area: (i) in some Fassan phrasal verbs we find the order «Verb – XP – Locative element», which resembles the German order; (ii) in Cimbrian various syntactic positions are possible…
Expressing perception in parallel ways. Sentential Small Clauses in German and Romance
2021
This chapter compares Pseudo-relatives (‘PRs’), a construction found in most Romance languages, with ‘Subject-wieclauses’ (‘SWs’), a German construction in which the subject of an embedded wie-clause precedes the complementizer wie (‘how’; e.g. Ich sah Maria, wie sie sang, lit. “I saw Mary, how she sung”, i.e. ‘I saw Mary singing’). We show that both constructions mainly occur with perception verbs, and that they have a very similar syntactic behaviour; e.g., they can be coordinated with adjectival or prepositional small clauses and have anaphoric tense. Furthermore, they both have a clausal nature but can modify a DP. We thus propose to extend Casalicchio’s (2016) analysis of PRs to SWs: t…
The Romantics of 1909: Arthur Symons, Pierre Lasserre and T. E. Hulme
2016
Arthur Symons’s The Romantic Movement in English Poetry (1909) has elicited scant discussion. Part dictionary of British authors born before 1800, part series of portraits of canonical Romantic poets, The Romantic Movement remains perplexing with its unclear purpose and ungainly format. This article argues that Symons’s monograph should be approached in the turn of the century debate on the definition and value of British Romanticism. As opposed to T. E. Hulme’s ‘Romanticism and Classicism’ (1912?), itself indebted to Pierre Lasserre’s Le Romantisme français. Essai sur la révolution dans les sentiments et dans les idées au XIXe siècle (1907), Symons’s study appears as a defence of the roman…
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…
