Collective suffixes and ad hoc categories: from Latin -ālia to Italian -aglia.
Full text linkThe expression of ad hoc categories ranges from discourse-level to syntactic and morphological strategies. Considering derivation in particular, it has been observed that also collective suffixes can be used for the identification of context-dependent sets. The aim of this paper is to investigate the relation between collectives and ad hoc categories by focusing on the Italian suffix -aglia and by discussing its diachronic relation with the Latin neuter nouns ending in -ālia. The discussion concerning the notion of collective will take into account a recent proposal that distinguishes between collective nouns, aggregate nouns, and superordinates. As will be shown,
aggregate nouns are of particular interest for interpreting some Latin pluralia tantum in -ālia that denote sets of heterogeneous entities with similar properties. The same possibility to derive aggregate nouns characterizes the suffix -aglia that, when attached to proper nouns, can also convey associative meanings, or denote categories including persons and situations that share the named exemplar as a common denominator. As the analysis will show, the development of these functions correlates with the mechanisms of (inter)subjectification
Linguistic Typology at the Crossroads
No full textThe journal aims to host research within the field of linguistic typology. It is meant to give space above all, but not exclusively, to studies exploring the crossroads at which linguistic typology meets its closest neighbors. The journal will therefore welcome works dealing especially with the intersections between typology and other areas of linguistics, such as diachrony, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, corpus-based analysis of speech and discourse
Studi e Saggi Linguistici
No full textEver since it was founded in 1961 by Tristano Bolelli, Studi e Saggi Linguistici plays a major role in the linguistic debate in Italy, especially for those scholars working in the field of Indo-European Historical Linguistics and contemporary Theoretical Linguistics.
Today, after 50 years of life, Studi e Saggi Linguistici has a firm position in this field, but it also gained a larger international profile, including well-known foreign scholars as members of its Scientific Committee, and fostering the publication of English-written papers.
The Editors always aim at publishing original and innovative papers, whose quality and exactness are guaranteed by the prestigious Scientific Committee, and by the anonymous peer-review process.
Although a certain preference is accorded to both historical and general Linguistics, in line with the tradition, the Journal welcomes scientific contributions concerning any linguistic field, with no preference or prejudice for particular methodological approaches and theoretical paradigms.
In the last few years, the Journal published wide-ranging papers from typological linguistics to language acquisition, dealt with etymology and with exotic languages, discussed problems of lexicon, as well as of phonetics and neurolinguistics.
Finally, the Journal has two sections, ‘Discussions’ and ‘Reviews’, which provide currently updated information about the most recent works on Linguistic topics that are published in Italy and Abroad.

CLUB Working Papers in Linguistics
No full textCLUB WORKING PAPERS IN LINGUISTICS (CLUB-WPL) è una collana editoriale a cura del CLUB – Circolo Linguistico dell'Università di Bologna. La collana ospita contributi relativi alle iniziative del CLUB e dei suoi membri. I volumi, sottoposti a una procedura di peer-review, sono pubblicati esclusivamente online – sulla piattaforma AMS Acta dell'Università di Bologna – e sono liberamente accessibili
Linguistica e linguistiche (Bologna: Pàtron, 2011)
No full textLa collana, fondata nel 2011, ha l'ambizione di superare la dicotomia tra pubblicazioni a finalità esclusivamente didattica e pubblicazioni strettamente destinate ad un pubblico di specialisti, tentando di giungere ad una sintesi tra le due tipologie di lavori. La collana si pone cioè l'obiettivo di ospitare volumi che possano integrare una finalità divulgativa ed un solido fondamento scientifico (presentando, possibilmente, dati nuovi o nuove prospettive di analisi), accettando la sfida di rendere accessibili anche ad un pubblico non strettamente specialista studi e contenuti di livello avanzato. In linea con questo obiettivo, la collana ha un occhio di particolare riguardo per lavori con approccio multidisciplinare a questioni di carattere puramente linguistico, nell'idea che la condivisione di punti di vista, di prospettive di indagine, di metodi di studio, di ipotesi ed interrogativi tra ambiti del sapere diversi e spesso solo all'apparenza distanti sia occasione di profondo arricchimento. Il suo nome, Linguistica e linguistiche, è stato pensato proprio come segno dell’apertura della linguistica verso l’esterno. La collana si avvale di un comitato scientifico, la cui composizione è indicata nel volume. Il comitato scientifico stabilisce le linee editoriali della collana, vaglia preventivamente le proposte di pubblicazione e individua, di volta in volta, studiosi ed esperti dei singoli settori che opereranno una valutazione anonima dei manoscritti. Per la pubblicazione dei volumi della collana non viene richiesto alcun contributo agli autori. Questo obbliga ad una selezione molto rigorosa delle proposte che giungono, nella convinzione che questa procedura sia la migliore garanzia per gli stessi autori
DIVE-IN – An International Journal on Diversity and Inclusion
No full textDIVE-IN – An International Journal on Diversity and Inclusion is a scholarly journal that takes a comparative and multidisciplinary approach to cultural, literary, linguistic, and social issues connected with diversity and inclusion. These have not only gained key importance in our times, but they have also been at the core of a wide variety of academic subjects and heterogeneous research methodologies.
This journal welcomes the submission of interdisciplinary contributions that are representative of such a variety of interests and methodologies, with particular reference to linguistics, literature, philology, history, social sciences and economics
Intensity, reduplication, and pluractionality in Ancient Greek
Full text linkCet article aborde la manifestation de l’intensité dans le système verbal du grec ancien, où le présent et le parfait incluent des groupes marginaux et récessifs de verbes « intensifs » marqués par la réduplication. Ces formes impliquent des questions non résolues concernant leur origine, la sémantique de l'intensification et les moyens linguistiques utilisés pour transmettre cette notion. La recherche se concentre sur un ensemble particulier de verbes homériques qui, bien que classés comme des parfaits, décrivent des processus en cours et ne diffèrent du présent que dans l'intensité qui caractérise les événements. La discussion montre l’inadéquation de l'étiquette « parfait intensif » et propose une analyse fondée sur les liens entre l'intensification, la réduplication et la pluractionnalité. On fera valoir que l'intensité peut être abordée dans le cadre de la pluralité d’événements et qu’un nombre d’exemples avec des parfaits « anormaux » peuvent trouver une explication unificatrice lorsqu'ils sont interprétés comme exprimant différents types de valeurs pluractionnelles. Les cartes sémantiques illustrant les intersections entre les parcours diachroniques de la réduplication et le domaine de la pluralité d’événements clarifieront les fonctions et l'évolution des parfaits homériques.This paper deals with the manifestation of intensity in the verbal system of Ancient Greek, where both the present and the perfect include marginal and recessive groups of ‘intensive’ verbs marked by reduplication. These forms involve unresolved questions concerning their origin, the semantics of intensification and the linguistic devices used to convey this notion. The investigation focuses on a peculiar set of Homeric verbs that, although they are classified as perfects, describe ongoing processes and differ from the presents only in the intensity that characterizes the events. The discussion highlights the inadequacy of the label ‘intensive perfect’ and proposes an analysis based on the connections between intensification, reduplication and pluractionality. It will be argued that intensity can be addressed as pertaining to event plurality, and that a number of examples with ‘abnormal’ perfects can find a unifying explanation when interpreted as encoding different types of pluractional meanings. The semantic maps illustrating the intersections between the diachronic paths of reduplication and the domain of event plurality will clarify the functions and the evolution of the Homeric perfects
Une grammaticalisation avec peine. Le cas de l’italien appena.
No full textL’évolution du mot italien appena présente des similitudes avec le français à
peine d’un point de vue sémantique et syntaxique. Ces formes proviennent toutes
les deux de l’expression latine ad poenam et, à partir des significations originales
de ‘punition’, ‘douleur’, ‘souffrance’, elles se grammaticalisent pour devenir des
adverbes (au sens de ‘à peine’, ‘juste’) et acquérir des fonctions de conjonctifs (au
sens de ‘dès que’). Cependant, le développement d’appena révèle un rythme plus
rapide et des différences concernant l’émergence de valeurs temporelles. Le but
de cet article est de fournir un nouvel éclairage sur le processus de grammaticalisation
en exploitant les données du riche corpus de l’ancien italien, en définissant
la chronologie des différentes constructions et fonctions, et en analysant les intersections
entre les différents concepts et domaines. La réflexion porte sur la notion
d'approximation, qui est connue pour être pertinente pour la quantification,
la gradation adjectivale et la modification verbale. Elle explore la relation entre
approximateurs scalaires et aspectualité. Par ailleurs, les emplois de la locution
appena che soulignent le rôle clé de l’avertif, une catégorie sémantique complexe
qui se trouve à l’intersection de la temporalité, de l’aspectualité et de la modalité.
Bien que cette étude soit limitée à des données d’une seule langue, elle montre
l’importance de la typologie des enquêtes diachroniques sur les connecteurs, et
de la pertinence des constructions pour la recherche sur la grammaticalisation
