'Marvels of Medicine is one more valuable addition to the field and stands as an example of the intertextual delights available to us when we bring these skill sets to our reading of early medical writing. [...] The reader finds a rich blend of analysis of medical terminology and rhetorical strategies that opens up these medical works to a broader scholarship for consideration and shows how they added to the rise of a particular Latin-American consciousness and stand at an intersection of medicine and coloniality. [...] Marvels of Medicine offers a very interesting prism through which to engage with medical, social and literary thought in early modern scholarship and creates scope for similar intertextual analysis in this and later periods of medical writing.' - Fiona Clark, Bulletin of Spanish Studies
This volume is addressed to researchers in the field of phraseology, and to teachers, translators and lexicographers. It is a collection of essays offering a comprehensive, modern analysis of phrasemes, embracing a wide range of subjects and themes, from linguistic, both applied and theoretical, to cultural aspects. The contrastive approach underlying this variety of themes allows the divergences and analogies between phraseological units in two or more languages to be outlined. The languages compared here are both major and minor, European and non-European, and the text includes contrastive analyses of the most commonly investigated languages (French-German, English-Spanish, Russian-German), as well as some less frequently investigated languages (like Ukrainian, Romanian, Georgian and Thai), which are not as well-represented in phraseological description, despite their scientific interest.

Come l’acqua, goccia dopo goccia, scava la pietra dandole nuova forma, così gli studi compiuti nell’ultimo secolo hanno scandagliato gli universi fraseologici e paremiologici rivelandone le peculiarità e il carattere interlinguistico, interculturale e interdisciplinare. Continuando idealmente il cammino tracciato da Bally agli albori del Novecento, il presente volume propone una serie di saggi volti a esplorare le molteplici sfaccettature della fraseologia e della paremiologia, soffermandosi su questioni relative alla natura, la definizione e l’uso delle espressioni polilessicali, e indagando la dimensione lessicografica, contrastiva e traduttologica di tali unità.
