On the Royal Road
Nobel Prize winner Elfriede Jelinek is known as a writer who works in response to contemporary crises and cultural phenomena. Perhaps none of her works display that quality as clearly as On the Royal Road. Three weeks after Donald Trump's election, Jelinek mailed her German editor the first draft of this monologue, which turns out to be a stunningly prescient response to Trump and what he represents. In this drama we discover that a 'king', blinded by himself, who has made a fortune with real estate, golf courses and casinos, suddenly rules the United States, and the rest of the people of the world rub their eyes in disbelief until no one sees anything anymore. On the Royal Road brings into ...

Jackie
Scritto nel 2002, il monologo Jackie, pur avendo una forte autonomia estetica e concettuale, è la quarta parte di una pentalogia dedicata a miti e figure femminili, raccolta in volume nel 2003 con l’allusivo titolo La morte e la fanciulla I-V. Drammi di principesse (di prossima pubblicazione per La nave di Teseo). Jacqueline Kennedy si rivolge al lettore situata in un altrove che non è la vita, dalla quale si è già congedata, e nemmeno un tradizionale aldilà trascendente, ma piuttosto l’indistinto immaginario in cui questa figura continua a esistere nell’epoca della comunicazione di massa. Nel dramma non troviamo infatti un personaggio colto in un momento centrale della sua esistenza, e nemmeno la coerente narrazione retrospettiva, svolta in prima persona, di una vita giunta al suo termine. Jackie parla al presente, come se gli avvenimenti a cui ha preso parte continuassero a svolgersi incessantemente. In un certo senso la sua voce sembra un commento fuori campo a una serie di celebri sequenze filmiche e fotografiche presenti nell’immaginario collettivo, fondamento della diffusa costruzione mitografica di Jacqueline Kennedy. Dalla prefazione di Luigi Reitani

Formal Approaches to Function in Grammar
The contributions making up this volume in honor of Eloise Jelinek are written from a formalist perspective that deals with stereotypically functionalist questions about language. Jelinek's pioneering work in formalist syntax has shown that autonomous syntax need not exist in a vacuum. Her work has highlighted the importance of incorporating the effects of discourse and information structure on the syntactic representation. This book aims to invoke Jelinek's work either in substance or spirit. The focus is on Jelinek's influential Pronominal Argument Hypothesis as an "non-configurational" language; the influence of discourse-related interface phenomena on syntactic structure; the syntactic analysis of the grammaticalization; interactions between morphology, phonology and phonetics; and foundational issues about the link between formal grammar and function of language, as well as the methodological issues underlying the different approaches to linguistics.
Quantification in Natural Languages
This extended collection of papers is the result of putting recent ideas on quantification to work on a wide variety of languages. A central perspective of many of the papers follows the recognition of two broad types of quantificational strategies, one associated with nominal structures and determiners, the other with adverbial and other non-nominal expression (`D-quantifiers' and `A-quantifiers'). The papers demonstrate both the unity and the variety of natural language quantificational forms and meanings. Many of the papers also shed new light on questions of language typology and syntactic and morphological variation. The languages discussed include English, Dutch, Italian, American Sign...
