UN VECCHIO ITALIANO PER UNA NEOPOLITICA. LA LINGUA IN AZIONE DI MATTEO SALVINI
No full textQuesto articolo presenta un esempio di studio del rapporto tra lingua e gesti nell’oralità della comunicazione politica. In particolare viene prospettato un modello di analisi multimodale della lingua e dei gesti simbolici e coverbali utilizzati dall’ex vicepremier Matteo Salvini, sullo sfondo di alcune linee di tendenza nell’italiano della politica tra la cosiddetta Seconda e Terza Repubblica. I gesti coverbali sono analizzati secondo il metodo dell’analisi gestemica (Nobili, 2019), ovvero scomposti in quelle parti minime di significante e di significato (i gestemi), ciascuna delle quali è portatrice di una porzione precisa del significato letterale e complessivo dei gesti. I risultati dello studio rivelano un idioletto salviniano non innovativo e che non punta sull’argomentazione, bensì sul convincimento, sull’azione, sul conteggio e sul discredito dell’avversario.
Old Italian for a neopolitics. Matteo Salvini’s language in action
This article presents a study on the relationship between language and gestures in the orality of political communication. In particular, a multimodal analysis model of language and symbolic and co-verbal gestures used by the Vice-Premier Matteo Salvini is proposed, based on trends in political Italian language between the so-called Second and Third Republic. The co-verbal gestures are analyzed according to the method of gestemic analysis (Nobili, 2019), i.e. they are broken down into minimal parts of the signifier and the meaning (the gestemes), each of which carries a precise portion of the literal and overall meaning of the gestures. The results of the study reveal a non-innovative idiolect of Salvini, not focused on argumentation, but on persuasion, action, counting and discreting the opponent

Lipids in Aspergillus flavus-maize interaction
No full textIn some filamentous fungi, the pathways related to the oxidative stress and oxylipins production are involved both in the process of host-recognition and in the pathogenic phase. In fact, recent studies have shown that the production of oxylipins in filamentous fungi, yeasts and chromists is also related to the development of the organism itself and to mechanisms of communication with the host at the cellular level. The oxylipins, also produced by the host during defense reactions, are able to induce sporulation and to regulate the biosynthesis of mycotoxins in several pathogenic fungi. In A. flavus, the oxylipins play a crucial role as signals for regulating the biosynthesis of aflatoxins, the conidiogenesis and the formation of sclerotia. To investigate the involvement of an oxylipins based cross-talk into Z. mays and A. flavus interaction, we analyzed the oxylipins profile of the wild type strain and of three mutants of A. flavus that are deleted at the Aflox1 gene level also during maize kernel invasion. A lipidomic approach has been addressed through the use of LC-ToF-MS, followed by a statistical analysis of the principal components (PCA). The results showed the existence of a difference between the oxylipins profile generated by the WT and the mutants onto challenged maize. In relation to this, aflatoxin synthesis which is largely hampered in vitro, is intriguingly restored. These results highlight the important role of maize oxylipin in driving secondary metabolism in A. flavus. © 2014 Scarpari, Punelli, Scala, Zaccaria, Nobili, Ludovici, Camera, Fabbri, Reverberi and Fanelli
Strategies of Communication in Agonistic Epigrams
No full textInscribed agonistic epigrams of the archaic and classical time represent a privileged field of work on strategies of communication because they share topics and function with another major literary genre: the epinician ode. Victorious athletes, in fact, could choose to celebrate their victory either by dedicating a statue with an inscribed epigram or by commissioning an ode to a poet. The two forms had the same function (celebrating the victory), and shared some common topoi and expressions, but the results are radically different, not only because of the extension. The material support of inscriptions influences the poet, who pays great attention to the visual disposal of words and to the relationship of the epigram with the statue it accompanies. Agonistic statues, in fact, become from the fifth century B.C. more and more lifelike and epigrams gradually assume the function of expressing their words. First-person utterances thus become a mean to express victors’ own voice before the future generations with a continuous play on the absence/presence of the dedicator.
Simonides plays a crucial in role in the relationship between the text and the material support, because he is the first author who gives literary dignity to a genre so far considered as “ancillary” like the epigram. As a lyric poet, author of epinician and encomiastic odes, he intends the epigram as a poetic product and not as a mere “complement” of the statue and its base. At the same time, he is well aware that the material support is a fundamental trait of this genre, which makes his art unique: this is the reason why he never forgets to obey to the laws of the stone and to the stylistic conventions which took place in the epigraphic field. The brevity imposed by the material support forces the poet to invent new modes in order to concentrate all the necessary informations in two lines and, possibly, find some artistic variations to the most essential lists.
Another difference between agonistic epigrams and epinician odes is the context of performance: epigrams we know were mainly dedicated in Panhellenic sanctuaries, whereas the great part of epinicians were performed in the victor’s home town. This implies a different mode of self-presentation of the victor in accordance to the audience (local or panhellenic), which becomes particularly evident in those few lucky cases in which we possess both odes and epigrams of the same dedicator (e.g. Hieron of Syracuse)
