Re-reading Saussure
Through a detailed re-reading of Saussures's work in the light of contemporary developments in the human, life and physical sciences, Paul Thibault provides us with the means to redefine and refocus our theories of social meaning-making. Saussure's theory of language is generally considered to be a formal theory of abstract sign-types and sign-systems, separate from our individual and social practices of making meaning. In this challenging book, Thibault presents a different view of Saussure. Paying close attention to the original texts, including the Cours de Linguistic Generale he demonstrates that Saussure was centrally concerned with trying to formulate a theory of how meanings are made.Re-reading Saussure does more than simply engage with Saussure's theory in a new and up-to-date way, however. In addition to demonstrating the continuing viability of Saussure's thinking through a range of examples, it makes an important intervention in contemporary linguistic and semiotic debate.
Jazz Cafè
Un austero avvocato commissiona a un enigmatico maltese un atroce delitto. Un giovane, a cui i funerali del papa impediscono di rientrare a casa, è costretto, nell’attesa, a ripercorrere la sua vita e a tentare di correggerne gli errori. Un uomo e una donna, incontrandosi per caso all’Elba, intravvedono uno spiraglio di felicità. Dopo un appuntamento mancato a Chicago, una giovane studiosa resta impigliata in un groviglio di incontri e di ricordi di cui non viene a capo. Un magistrato in missione a Parigi torna tormentosamente su un terribile delitto che gli è toccato giudicare e riesamina dentro di sé la giustizia che ha amministrato e in cui non crede. Un letterato di rango viene i...
Tense and Aspect in Italian Interlanguage
The expression of time is fundamental in communication and languages have developed a variety of means to encode temporal relations. When learning a new language, learners are often faced with the challenging task of discovering a new system of temporal relations. The present study investigates the development of tense and aspect marking in the interlanguage of L3 Italian learners enrolled in university language courses. It examines how the tense-aspect system develops in the interlanguage and how the acquisition process is shaped by factors such as the lexical aspectual value of the predicates and discourse grounding. The data indicate that both lexical aspect and discourse grounding influe...
The Future of the Book
A dozen essays from a July 1994 conference at the University of San Marino argue that a total shift to electronic information media would trigger wrenching social and cultural dislocations. Among their perspectives are the pragmatics of the new, farewell to the information age, toward meta-reading, hypertext and authorship, and the body of the text. They avoid the usual fetish arguments such as curling up in bed or leather bindings and pipes. Novelist Umberto Eco provides an afterward. No index or word search.

Productive Patterns in Phraseology and Construction Grammar
The new book series Formelhafte Sprache / Formulaic Language offers an integrative platform for innovative publications aiming at all forms of formulaicity (German: Vorgeformtheit, Musterhaftigkeit, Formelhaftigkeit) - linguistic, cognitive, conceptual - at all levels of language system and in language use as well as in not purely linguistic areas such as cultural heritage or knowledge creation and storage. Possible research directions are patterns/prefabs in lexicon and grammar, word formation and phraseology, written texts and oral conversations, discourses and text corpora, stereotype building and stigmatization, cognition and cultural memory, verbal and visual knowledge formation and lan...
Iconicity in Language
Since the spectrum of possibilities in linguistic theory construction is much broader and more variegated than students of linguistics have perhaps been led to believe, the Current Issues in Linguistic Theory (CILT) series has been established in order to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of linguistic opinions of scholars who do not necessarily accept the prevailing mode of thought in linguistic science. CILT is a theory-oriented series which welcomes contributions from scholars who have significant proposals to make towards the advancement of our understanding of language, its structure, functioning, and development. Current Issues in Linguistic Theory is especially designed, by offering an alternative outlet for meaningful contributions to the current linguistic debate, to furnish the community of linguists the diversity of opinion which a healthy discipline must have.
Le passioni dell'anima
Il 1° settembre 1649, da un porto olandese, un viaggiatore straordinario si imbarca per Stoccolma. Chi invita in Svezia René Descartes è la regina Cristina, trionfatrice della Guerra dei Trent'anni, femme philosophe, che allo stuolo di eruditi di cui si è circondata vuole aggiungere, come culmine, il grande francese. A Stoccolma, che vive uno dei suoi autunni più gelidi e cupi, Descartes incontra amici fidati (l'ambasciatore di Francia Chanut e sua moglie Emilie), molta gente singolare (il pittore Machado, inetto nella pittura ma poeta esperto) e moltissima malfida. Rintanato in casa, isolato da tutti, in attesa della chiamata della regina, si rende conto che solo la vanità lo ha indot...
