Vaghezza linguistica e concettuale: ruolo e valore dell’aggettivo nel discorso istituzionale-giuridico dell’Ue sull’integrazione degli immigrati
No full textLe ampie dimensioni assunte dai fenomeni migratori richiedono oggi più che mai un’attenta disamina dei processi d’integrazione degli immigrati che chiedono di insediarsi nelle società di destinazione. In tale prospettiva, lo studio, seguendo un approccio qualitativo-quantitativo, si è prefisso come principale obiettivo l’analisi della rilevanza delle scelte linguistiche per l’efficacia di una normativa atta a tutelare i diritti fondamentali agli immigrati. Assumendo che le scelte linguistiche sono il risultato di selezioni che dipendono da una visione della realtà che induce ad adottare un sistema di valori sulla base di certi assunti culturali specifici del tempo (Cfr. Lantella 1979; Tiersma 1993; Antelmi 2007), l’obiettivo è stato quello di analizzare la presenza e il grado di influenza della ‘vaghezza’ aggettivale sulla efficacia dei diritti garantiti agli immigrati in un corpus di Direttive europee nell’arco temporale 2006-2013. Tale vaghezza è stata osservata per essere confrontata in chiave diacronica con quella risultante da un precedente studio su un corpus di Direttive emanate dal 2001 al 2005 (Polese / D’Avanzo, 2010; D’Avanzo, 2012).
Per l’analisi linguistica del Corpus sono stati presi in considerazione studi su indeterminatezza e opacità lessicale in testi normativi (Endicott 2001; Bhatia/Engberg/Gotti/Heller 2005; Engberg/Heller 2008; Barberis 2014), teorie di semantica degli aggettivi (Pinkal 1995; Fjeld 2005), e studi sul discorso giuridico e ideologia (Fairclough 1992, 2006, 2007, 2011; Tiersma 1993; Antelmi 2007; Polese / D’Avanzo 2010; D’Avanzo 2012).
Pur essendo la vaghezza riconosciuta essere prerequisito necessario per ogni efficiente sistema giuridico atta a garantire all-inclusiveness (Cfr. Bhatia 2005), nel nostro caso specifico, laddove essa concede spazio a negoziazione di significato essa apre anche a interpretazioni soggettive da parte degli Stati Membri. La presenza di aggettivi portatori di vaghezza linguistica e concettuale è stata osservata con distribuzione varia nelle sezioni delle Direttive esaminate ma nessuna sostanziale differenza è stata rilevata nell’uso di tali aggettivi rispetto al precedente studio condotto dagli autori. Ciò porta ad asserire che se è vero che il dibattito sulle dinamiche e tecniche di accoglimento è quanto mai caldo e aperto a nuove possibilità, il processo appare tuttora lento e cauto e tale da problematizzare la tutela dei diritti agli immigrati

Abstract
In this chapter we present a system supporting instruction designers in the design and deployment of e-learning courses. The system includes integrated modules for several authoring activities, such as the definition of knowledge content objects, and the creation of assessment and self-assessment tests. The distinguishing characteristics of the proposed system is that it is based on a suite of visual languages, enabling the modelling of different aspects of the construction process for Web-based distance courses. The languages include a Learning Activity Diagram, which extends UML Activity Diagrams to make them suitable for modelling distance course structures; a Self-Consistent Learning Object language used to define knowledge contents; and a Test Maker Language for specifying assessment and self-assessment tests. The use of visual languages provides an intuitive and friendly system user interface that allows instruction designer to easily compose and analyze the distance course structure and keep track of the knowledge acquisition process individually for each learner
CONVENTIONAL AND INNOVATIVE AEROSPACE JOINING TECHNOLOGIES
No full textThe present PhD Thesis was developed in the framework of several Research Programs in which the Department of Aerospace Engineering at University of Pisa was directly involved, with the general aim to characterized the fatigue behavior of conventional and innovative joints typically employed in the production of aeronautical and aerospace structures.
Correct predictions could obviously improve design of optimized structures, maintaining or increasing actual safety levels: but the separate or synergic effects of several parameters must be considered to correctly reproduce structure in-service behavior.
The logic-flow adopted for each aspect analyzed in the present research had his origin on a consistent database of experimental data, ranging from general mechanical properties material characterization to strain gauge evaluations of associated stress fields, moving toward a more comprehensive description of the faced problem by means of Finite Elements simulations, to finally reach, by fracture mechanics codes, a generalized model.
Attention was mainly focused on parameters characterized by a lack of information in literature or unsatisfactory prediction models.
Among others aspects, the effect of Secondary Bending on conventional longitudinal fuselage joints was deeply investigated, bringing to a clear improvement of fracture mechanics software.
Furthermore were analyzed different technologies capable of decidedly improve joint performance in a standard architecture. Processes as Interference Fit, Split Sleeve Cold Working, StressWave and ForceMate were demonstrated to significantly retard crack initiation and propagation in critical points, introducing beneficial stress fields. Besides currently great efforts are made by the aerospace International Community to investigate the possibility of replacing standard joining methodology by new technologies which are expected to provide considerable weight saving and cost reductions, incorporating integral structures in aircraft constructions. The more promising one, the “Friction Stir Welding”, was widely explored during the present activity in different aeronautical and aerospace applications, demonstrating to be a very robust and reliable process
Preface
No full textThis preface briefly illustrates the results of the research project "Tension and Change in English Domain-specific genres" coordinated at national level by Maurizio Gotti (University of Bergamo) and exploring genre-related issues: hybridization, tension, genre variation/evolution, creation of new genres and influences across genres in English domain-specific genres.
The preface opens up a volume with contributions by scholars researching in the field of genre, including Norman Fairclough and Srikant Sarangi, who have won world renown for their scientific publications. The contributions have attempted to provide answers to a number of research questions involving current genre-related issues in private and public, institutional and professional communication, such as impact of globalization and the new technologies on discourses / genres, intertextuality and interdiscursivity drawing on corporate/promotional communication practices and strategies in processes of resemioticization and recontextualization across the media
Genre(s) on the move in institutional and professional domains
No full textThis paper is a critical introduction to one of the two sections of the volume “Genre(s) on the Move. Hybridization and Discourse Change in Specialized Communication” edited by S. Sarangi, V. Polese and G. Caliendo. The volume is a final product of a government-funded research programme of national interest (PRIN) entitled: “Tension and Change in English Domain-specific Genres”. The project focused on the evolving aspects of private and public, professional and institutional discourses, drawing attention to such phenomena as genre hybridization, creation, resistance and change produced by the impact of the new technologies and globalization. The scientific coordinator of the project, which involved teams from five Italian Universities (Bergamo, Milano, Napoli Federico II, Roma (IUSM) and Torino), was Professor Maurizio Gotti of the University of Bergamo. Both sections of the volume (I. Genre(s) on the Move in Private and Public Domains; II. Genre(s) on the Move in Institutional and Professional Domains) concern phenomena of hybridization, change and forms of contamination as well as resistance and creation of new genres. The contributions have attempted to provide answers to a number of research questions involving current genre-related issues in private and public, institutional and professional communication, such as impact of globalization and the new technologies on discourses / genres, intertextuality and interdiscursivity drawing on corporate/promotional communication practices and strategies in processes of resemioticization and recontextualization across the media. The volume also hosts the contributions of two prominent scholars in the field of discourse: Norman Fairclough and Srikant Sarangi
