The Syntax of ne: Some Theoretical Implications
No full textThe article addresses the study of the cliticization properties of Italian clitic "ne", showing that its distribution is due to principled reasons within the theory of syntax, only movement of the clitic from a governed postverbal position being allowed. A comparison between cliticization from a postverbal direct object and postverbal subjects of different nature is assessed in detail
"ça on fait pas!" On the L2 acquisition of French by two children with different source languages
No full textRelativized Relatives: Types of intervention in the acquisition of A’-dependencies
No full textYoung children find (some) object relatives much harder to understand than subject relatives. The main finding of this article is that not all object relatives are difficult. The difficulty with object relatives (and object Wh-questions) is selective: it depends on the structural similarity between the A’-moved element and the intervening subject. We interpret this selective effect in terms of a proper extension of Relativized Minimality, the principle of syntactic theory which expresses locality effects linked to intervention, and whose
psycholinguistic relevance has been highlighted in Grillo’s work on agrammatism. Six experiments have been conducted with 22 Hebrew-speaking children aged 3;7–5;0 to substantiate our claims empirically. Experiments 1 and 2 tested the comprehension of headed subject and object relatives with and without a resumptive pronoun, in sentences with lexically restricted (D NP) subjects.
Subject relatives were comprehended well, but the performance on object relatives was at chance. The addition of resumptive pronouns did not improve comprehension. Experiments 3 and 4 manipulated the lexical restriction of the moved element and the intervening
subject, using free relatives and impersonal pro subjects, respectively. When the moved constituent and the intervening subject were structurally dissimilar in terms of lexical-NP restriction, the performance significantly improved. Experiment 5 showed a similar comprehension pattern in another type of A’ movement: Wh-questions. The comprehension of who and which subject and object questions was difficult only when both the crossing element and the intervener included a lexical NP restriction. Finally, a similar pattern emerged in production: in an elicited production study, children showed a tendency to avoid producing structures in which both
the moved element and the intervener are lexically restricted. We conclude suggesting a line of analysis of the difference between children and adults in dealing with object A’-dependencies
Luminescence of Fe-Doped Willemite Single Crystals
No full textThe emission and excitation spectra of Fe-doped Zn2SiO4 (willemite) crystals were measured at temperatures ranging from 10 to 298 K. The luminescence consists of two contributions, both of broadband type: an emission due to the 4T1 (4G) → 6A1 (6S) interconfigurational transition of the d5 Fe3+ ions in sites having approximate tetrahedral coordination and a second emission probably due to lattice defects induced by the requirement of charge compensation. The excitation spectrum of Fe3+ has been assigned on the basis of the ligand field theory, and the energies of the bands have been fitted with the following values of the ligand field parameters: Dq = 743 cm-1, B = 535 cm-1, and C = 3155 cm-1. From these data, it is reasonable to suppose that the Fe3+ ions responsible for the emission are located at the Si4+ distorted tetrahedral sites. © 1995 Academic Press
I giorni della guerra. Il passaggio del fronte a Fusignano nei diari di Quirino Majorana e Liliana Corelli (1944-1945)
No full textIl libro contiene due diari della seconda guerra mondiale ambientati nella pianura della Bassa Romagna, analizzati e contestualizzati nel quadro dei problemi scaturiti dall'emergenza bellica negli anno 1943-45. Gli autori sono Quirino Majorana, illustre scienziato, professore di Fisica sperimentale al Politecnico di Torino e poi all'Università di Bologna, sfollato a Fusignano: e Liliana Corelli, giovane popolana di Fusignano, anch'essa sollecitata alla scrittura dalle anomale condizioni imposte dal conflitto. La forte distanza - anagrafica, sociale, culturale - che separa i due autori ne scandisce il rapporto con la scrittura e con la situazione; ma accanto alle evidenti differenze, i diari mostrano affinità molteplici e soprattutto rivelano come il gesto della scrittura sia riconosciuto come àncora di resistenza individuale, un angolo segreto per sfogare le proprie emozioni e alimentare la fiamma della speranza del ritorno alla normalità
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
La storia di Fusignano
No full textIl volume è il frutto di un lungo lavoro collettivo, basato sull'esplorazione sistematica della documentazione archivistica e a stampa relativa alla storia di Fusignano e della Bassa Romagna. La struttura del volume risponde all'esigenza di privilegiare tre aspetti: la dimensione politico-istituzionale; i nodi storici che hanno scandito la vicenda del territorio nel corsos dei secoli; i processi di formazione dell'identità locale; le tracce documentarie presenti nel territorio e nelle istituzioni bibiotecarie e archivistich
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
