Types of Possessive Structures in the Balkan languages and in Arberesh
Get PDFIn this paper, we analyse the syntactic structures associated with predicative possession in Albanian, Bulgarian, Modern Greek and Arbëresh. Many languages model their possessive constructions on the split between alienable (which includes temporary possession and permanent possession) and inalienable possession (which involves kinship terms, body parts, physical traits, abstract properties, part-whole relations). The languages we analyse show that this split (alienable vs. inalienable) is not sufficient to cover the entire domain of what is called possession. More than these two domains are relevant for the languages under study.
From the syntactic point of view, two predominant strategies have been identified to express the predicative possession in these languages: the use of a verb like HAVE and the use of a verb like BE and a preposition. While typical for many non-Indo-European languages, this second strategy is quite rare in the Indo-European family. The literature (Stolz et al. 2008; Stassen 2009) reports similar cases only from two languages: Icelandic and Portuguese
Edward Lear alla scoperta dell'Albania
No full textL'articolo ricostruisce e descrive i due viaggi in Albania (1848 e 1849) di Edward Lear (1812-1888), pittore, illustratore, viaggiatore, scrittore e poeta scomparso a San Remo dopo lunghe peripezie. Per la prima volta, i diari, gli appunti e i disegni di Edward Lear descrivono una terra sconosciuta ai più, attraverso un doppio viaggio rocambolesco in territori ancora inesplorati dagli europei. Si tratta della ricostruzione di impressioni, appunti e acquarelli che andarono ad arricchire collezioni private, ma anche ad imbastire l'unico resoconto esteso, pubblicato in vita, di uno dei tanti viaggi compiuti da Lear, un viaggio rischioso e avventuroso in terre che oggi noi identifichiamo e mappiamo come: Albania
Balkan and South Slavic Enclaves in Italy. Languages, Dialects, Identities
No full textThis volume is a collection of new writings dealing with some of the Balkan linguistic varieties spoken in North-Eastern, Central and Southern Italy. It brings together twenty-two papers which investigate the mutual influences between each of these varietes and their neighboring Italian dialects. Other contributions study common tendencies which do not just pertain to local contacts but are of greater significance for the history of linguistic and cultural contacts in Italy.The contributions in this book originate from the conference “Balkan”
enclaves in Italy. Languages, dialects, identities, held in Venice, Italy,
from 26-28 November 2015. The conference was held on the occasion of
the sixth annual meeting of the Commission for Balkan linguistics
affiliated with the International Committee of Slavicists. Due to its high
significance to society, the participants have set up their work so that it
does not only concern linguistic matters, but also interdisciplinary and
transdisciplinary ones. In this way, we tried to fully integrate the results of
the work of many researchers from different universities and research
institutions

Get PDFDuring the period of war in ex-Yugoslavia and immediately after it, the government of
each new country tried to (re)create and (re)construct an official history, in order to erase all the
links with communist past and consequently any sentiment of cultural, historical and social unity.
One decade later some new, and often nostalgic, approaches to the common past are visible in
the contemporary literature of post-Yugoslav countries. The analysis of the images of Novi Sad
and Belgrade in three novels of Serbian immigrant writer Vladimir Tasić will show how literature,
as personal and intimate narrative, can be seen as a form of resistance against nationalism and
against the attempt of memory confiscation

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
