Principles of Constructing Microstructures in Etymological References
The main theme of the volume is the exploration and identification of the fundamental principles involved in constructing and understanding the microstructures found within etymological references. The authors offer an in-depth examination of designing etymological dictionaries, focusing on the principles behind constructing their microstructures. It begins by exploring the evolution of lexicographic sources and their role in societal knowledge organization. The work then delves into the methodology of building dictionary entries, discussing the integration of traditional and cognitivesynergetic principles to better capture the linguistic nuances of words. Through comprehensive analysis and detailed examples, this volume provides a profound understanding of how etymological information is systematically organized and presented.
Diachronic Interpretation of the Nostratic Macrofamily
This monograph presents a groundbreaking exploration into the Nostratic macrofamily, a concept that proposes a common ancestral language for several of the world's foremost language families. The study delves deep into the roots of Altaic, Afro-Asiatic, Dravidian, Eskimo-Aleut, Indo-European, Kartvelian, and Uralic languages, offering a unique perspective on their interconnections and evolutionary paths. The authors examine five pivotal Nostratic etymons from the Swadesh index to illustrate the shared cognitive frameworks of these diverse linguistic groups. This research challenges conventional perspectives on language evolution and introduces new methodologies in cognitive macro-comparative studies. Key to the work is the hypothesis of divergent-convergent and convergent-divergent evolutionary patterns stemming from a common Nostratic origin. Beyond linguistics, this study offers insights into human cognitive development, language formation, and change mechanisms.
The state of the art of Uralic studies: tradition vs innovation
This volume contains the Proceedings of the ‘Uralic Studies’ Seminar: The State of the Art of Uralic Studies: Tradition vs Innovation, held in Padua (Italy), November 12-13, 2016. The seminar was organized by the Department of ‘Studi Linguistici e Letterari’ of Padua University and the ‘Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia’ of Sapienza University of Rome. The aim of the seminar, and of this volume, was / is to bring together linguists working on the Uralic languages from different perspectives, with the purpose of increasing the exchange of ideas and fostering mutual influences on each other field and methods of analysis. In addition to presenting the current ‘state of the art of Uralic studies’ – for specialists, general linguists and general public – the volume also addresses some issues related to the so-called ‘Ural-Altaic theory’, nowadays often referred to as the ‘Ural-Altaic linguistic belt, unique typological belt’. The contributors to the volume are renown scholars of Uralic, and also Altaic languages, from various European universities, such as Moscow, Helsinki, Paris, Budapest etc.
Circulation, Translation and Reception Across Borders
This volume offers a detailed analysis of selected cases in the reception, translation and artistic reinterpretation of Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities (1972) around the world. The book traces the many different ways in which Calvino's modern classic has been read, translated and adapted in Brazil, France, the Netherlands and Flanders, Mexico, Romania, Scandinavia, the USSR, China, Poland, Japan and Australia. It also offers analyses of the relation between Calvino's book and, respectively, the East and Africa, as well as reflections on the book's inspiration for, and resonance in, dance, architecture and art. The volume thus traces the diversity in the reception and circulation of Invisible Cities in different countries and continents, offering a much wider framework for the discussion of Calvino’s masterpiece than before, and a more detailed picture of its cultural and linguistic ramifications. This book will be of interest to scholars in Comparative Literature, World Literature, Translation Studies, Italian Studies, Romance Languages, European Studies, Dance, Architecture and Media Studies, as well as to scholars specialised in paratext and reception.
Contrastive Phraseology
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.

Si dice in molti modi
“Si dice in molti modi”: con questo titolo, ripreso liberamente dalla metafisica aristotelica, si intende dar conto di ciò che ha ispirato non solo il libro che qui presentiamo, ma anche la filosofia che inevitabilmente ispira ogni studio linguistico concreto: l’attenzione alla varietà delle lingue, alle loro diversità, a quelle caratteristiche strutturali e d’uso che permettono non solo alle comunità linguistiche, ma anche a ogni singolo parlante di esprimersi in maniera mai del tutto prevedibile, spesso nuova, talvolta unica. Questa illimitata molteplicità si manifesta, in maniera del tutto peculiare, nella fraseologia, ambito lessicale che non a caso rappresenta uno dei m...
Nuovi studi di fraseologia e paremiologia
Con questo volume l’Associazione Italiana di Fraseologia e Paremiologia Phrasis, in collaborazione con il dottorato in Scienze documentarie, linguistiche e letterarie della Sapienza Università di Roma, testimonia la vitalità e la crescita degli studi fraseologici e paremiologici in Italia e all’estero. Lo fa dando voce a giovani ricercatrici e ricercatori nell’ambito del Primo Convegno Dottorale “Nuovi Studi di Fraseologia e Paremiologia”, in un periodo storico in cui, a causa della pandemia, le occasioni di scambio scientifico appaiono drasticamente ridotte. Il volume restituisce una molteplicità di approcci d’analisi, cui si aggiunge la ricchezza del materiale fraseologico e...
Confini e Parole
Dove passa la linea che distingue l’Io dall’Altro nell’epica e nel romanzo medievali? Quale aspetto del sé – individuale o collettivo – si può identificare con questa distinzione? Quali parole, nelle varie opere, hanno valore identitario e costituiscono le radici culturali dell’immaginario alle origini della civiltà europea? A queste domande gli autori e le autrici di questo volume hanno risposto, prima in un Convegno e adesso in queste pagine, in una «inquietudine interrogante» che non coinvolge solo la «pratica» dell’identità ma anche lo studio delle sue manifestazioni in opere prodotte in ambiti culturali differenti, dall’epica al romanzo, alle traduzioni bibliche in versi, alla lirica araba medievale.
Il potere e il dispositivo: il Nazismo
“Il Nazismo elaborò una pedagogia? È davvero possibile parlare di una pedagogia del Nazionalsocialismo?... E che dire dei campi di concentramento?”. Dopo aver dapprima delineato brevemente che cosa siano la pedagogia e il suo oggetto di studio, l’autrice cerca di dimostrare che è esistita ed è possibile una pedagogia dell’espropriazione e dell’annientamento che abbiamo visto concretizzarsi nelle scuole naziste, negli apparati educativi di partito e nei campi di concentramento … Una tesi esauriente, che analizza con rigore gli anni più bui della storia dell’umanità. Chiara Nessi è nata nel 1989 a Lecco. Laureata in Scienze della Formazione Primaria e in Scienze Pedagogich...
