Apte dicere: epistemic phrases and facework in Cicero’s oratorical works
In this contribution I propose a survey of the use of epistemic “parenthetic” expressions in Cicero's oratorical production (ut opinor, ut arbitror, credo, ut mea opinio fert, ut mihi videtur, mea sententia etc.). As is well known, the use of such linguistic resources can respond to multiple needs, including, of course, the more properly epistemic-evidential ones, of highlighting the subjective dimension of assertions and the degree of certainty that the speaker assigns to them; but equally important, especially in the parenthetic form, are other effects, pragmatic in nature. Epistemic modalization may in fact modify the illocutionary force of the utterance or a part of it, in the direction of limiting the statement, or of emphasizing it, with effects on the image of the participants in the interaction. Mostly dialogic, resources of this kind have indeed a considerable relevance in the oratio, where they can be exploited to construct the speaker's image (or persona), gaining him approval and making his arguments more persuasive. The examination of the wide repertoire of expressions found in Cicero’s speeches shows the peculiar use he makes of this class of phrases, and of their effects, varying between attenuation and boosting, for the sake of self-presentation
Emerging Monogenic Complex Hyperkinetic Disorders
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Hyperkinetic movement disorders can manifest alone or as part of complex phenotypes. In the era of next-generation sequencing (NGS), the list of monogenic complex movement disorders is rapidly growing. This review will explore the main features of these newly identified conditions.
RECENT FINDINGS: Mutations in ADCY5 and PDE10A have been identified as important causes of childhood-onset dyskinesias and KMT2B mutations as one of the most frequent causes of complex dystonia in children. The delineation of the phenotypic spectrum associated with mutations in ATP1A3, FOXG1, GNAO1, GRIN1, FRRS1L, and TBC1D24 is revealing an expanding genetic overlap between epileptic encephalopathies, developmental delay/intellectual disability, and hyperkinetic movement disorders,.
SUMMARY: Thanks to NGS, the etiology of several complex hyperkinetic movement disorders has been elucidated. Importantly, NGS is changing the way clinicians diagnose these complex conditions. Shared molecular pathways, involved in early stages of brain development and normal synaptic transmission, underlie basal ganglia dysfunction, epilepsy, and other neurodevelopmental disorders
Primo piano: Luca Mencacci. The Best Man. Le campagne elettorali viste da Hollywood
Il cinema americano può essere letto attraverso le lenti della scienza politica. Lo mette in mostra il libro di L. Mencacci "The Best Man" sulle elezioni americane viste dal cinema hollywoodiano. Emerge la sua capacità di illustrare le categorie politiche volte ad illustrare i processi mediatico-culturali che determinano fatti ed eventi legati alle elezioni presidenziali. Connettendo cinema e politologia l'autore ci dà così un ampio quadro della scienza politica americana del XX secolo.American cinema can be read through the lenses of political science. The book by L. Mencacci "The Best Man" on the American elections seen by Hollywood cinema shows it. It emerges its ability to illustrate the political categories aimed at illustrating the media-cultural processes that determine events and events related to the presidential elections. By connecting cinema and political science, the author gives us a broad picture of 20th century American political science
