    A comparison between English and Italian dialogic descriptors across text types

    No full text
    In this work I propose a cross-linguistic (English – Italian) and cross-textual (narrative and argumentative text types) investigation of lexical and formal dialogic descriptors (i.e. verbs of report and different forms of reporting) by making use of Peirce’s (1965) semiotic principles (cf. their application in Merlini Barbaresi 2003, 1988 and in Bertuccelli Papi 2003). I esp. suggest that, ideally, the same semiotic values should be preserved on the varying linguistic levels of English source texts and Italian target texts. In fact, the work shows that when this does not happen, esp. because of the complexity of the mapping (viz. lack of direct correspondence) between the two lexical systems, alternative adjustments are made and correlated consequences for diagrammaticity (i.e. analogous internal relations within ST and TT) are brought about

    Managing bipolar youths in a psychiatric inpatient emergency service. Masi G, Mucci M, Pias P, Muratori F. IRCCS Stella Maris, Scientific Institute of Child Neurology and Psychiatry, Via dei Giacinti 2, 56018 Calambrone, Pisa, Italy. [email protected] Among the youths referred to our Psychiatric Inpatient Emergency Service, we focused on bipolar disorder (BD), to explore predictive elements for the outcome. Fifty-one patients (30 males, 21 females, age range 8-18 years, mean age 14.2 ± 3.1 years) received a diagnosis of BD, according to historical information, prolonged observations, and a structured clinical interview (K-SADS-PL). Twenty-seven patients (52.9%) were responders at the end of hospitalization according to CGI-I 1 or 2 and 50% decrease of both Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) and Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS). Responders received a longer hospitalization. Non responders were more severe at baseline, had higher scores at BPRS (namely positive symptoms), and were more aggressive. Environmental/social stressors and comorbidities were frequent, but they did not affect the outcome. In summary, BD in emergency settings may represent a subtype with clinical and therapeutic peculiarities, and specific challenges for mental health services
