On the null-subject phenomenon: an example of successful linguistic research
2018
This chapter deals with the history on the studies on null subjects, and on the most recent approaches.
Pseudo-relatives, gerunds and infinitives in Romance: (only) superficial resemblances and structural connections
2013
L'argomento di questa monografia è un confronto tra i costrutti predicativi di tipo frasale nelle diverse varietà romanze. Mentre le pseudorelative sono diffuse pressoché in tutta la Romània, con qualche variazione parametrica minore, i gerundi predicativi e gli infiniti preposizionali sono usati solo in alcune varietà. Negli studi linguistici sull'argomento è mancata finora l'ottica comparativa, sia tra varietà diverse, sia tra costrutti predicativi diversi. Il mio lavoro si prefissa lo scopo di colmare questa lacuna, senza ignorare però i costrutti percettivi composti da un infinito semplice, che da parte della letteratura sono stati paragonati alle strutture predicative delle pseudorelat…
Null subjects in generative grammar: A synchronic and diachronic perspective
2018
This book considers the null-subject phenomenon, whereby some languages lack an overtly realized referential subject in specific contexts. In generative syntax-the approach adopted in this volume-the phenomenon has traditionally been explained in terms of a ‘pro-drop’ parameter with associated cluster properties; more recently, however, it has become clear that pro-drop phenomena do not always correlate with all the initially predicted cluster properties. This volume returns to the centre of the debate surrounding the empirical phenomena associated with null subjects. Experts in the field explore the cluster properties associated with pro-drop; the types of null category involved in null-su…

A Grammar of Central Trentino
2020
Central Trentino is a Romance dialect spoken in the North-East of Italy, which shows features belonging to both Gallo-Italic and Venetan dialects. Grammar of Central Trentino aims to present the first comprehensive grammatical description of this dialect, taking into consideration its morpho-syntactic properties and pragmatic phenomena. The book's general approach is synchronic and focused on the language currently in use. The authors discuss a wide range of examples gathered from both oral and written sources. The theoretical reference model is that of generative grammar, but the description of the phenomena is also accessible to a non-specialized audience.
La fonction expressive
2010
La discussion théorique, visant à circonscrire avec plus de netteté le concept cible, est présente non seulement dans l'articule d'ouverture qui revient sur la conception guillaumienne de l'expressivité, mais aussi dans l'ensemble des autres articles qui s'attachent à donner une (des) définition(s) opératoire(s) de la notion, permettant, d'une part, de tracer une ligne de partage entre elle et les notions proches, et d'autre part de fournir une base méthodologique sûre lorsqu'il s'agit d'analyser des phénomènes langagiers touchant à des niveaux aussi divers que la morphologie lexicale, le lexique ou l'analyse du discours. Les études de cas portent sur cinq langues indo-européennes (anglais,…
Temps, espace et signification : psychomécanique du langage et syntaxe structurale
2014
International audience; Fondé sur les principes théoriques de la psychomécanique du langage et de la syntaxe structurale, ce travail tente de redéfinir le nom-espace et le verbe-temps au service de la signification. Il s’appuie sur l’idée que cette dernière est adossée (essentiellement) aux mots prédicatifs (psychomécanique du langage) ou aux mots pleins (syntaxe structurale). Mais cette hypothèse ne vaut qu’à condition d’accepter préalablement le postulat selon lequel les langues (à morphologie identifiable) associent intrinsèquement le verbe au temps et le nom à l’espace. Dans ce corrélat noologique, le verbe-temps et le nom-espace forment, paradoxalement, une position et une opposition. …

Spatial Cognition 2020/1: Book of abstracts : August 2-4, 2021, University of Latvia
2021
Spatial Cognition is concerned with the acquisition, development, representation, organization, and use of knowledge about spatial objects in real, virtual or hybrid environments and processed by human or artificial agents. Spatial Cognition includes research from different fields insofar as they are concerned with cognitive agents and space, such as cognitive and developmental psychology, linguistics, computer science, geography, cartography, philosophy, neuroscience, and education. Research issues in the field range from the investigation of human spatial cognition to mobile robot navigation, including topics such as wayfinding, spatial planning, spatial learning, internal and external re…
Association between Serum Osteoprotegerin Levels and Severity of Coronary Artery Disease in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction
2021
International audience; Background. Osteoprotegerin (OPG), a glycoprotein of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily, is one of the main biomarkers for vascular calcification. Aim. We aimed to evaluate the association between serum OPG levels and extent of coronary lesions in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). Methods. Consecutive patients hospitalized for an acute MI who underwent coronary angiography were included. SYNTAX score was calculated to assess the severity of coronary artery disease. The population was analysed in low (5 (3–6)), medium (11 (9–13)) and high (20 (18–23)) tertiles of SYNTAX score. Results. Among the 378 patients included, there was a gradual increa…
