Questioni di tipologia diacronica nel dominio della diatesi
No full textObiettivo di questo articolo è illustrare il metodo della tipologia diacronica e i suoi limiti. L’analisi si concentrerà su due costruzioni che ricadono nel dominio funzionale della diatesi: gli antipassivi
e i passivi. Si illustreranno, innanzitutto, le più frequenti sorgenti diacroniche degli antipassivi individuate in un campione di 120 lingue, e si mostrerà che in alcuni casi la sorgente diacronica è in grado di spiegare alcune caratteristiche sincroniche di una specifica costruzione antipassiva. Sarà poi discusso il caso di alcune costruzioni passive che avrebbero origine da una nominalizzazione d’azione: questa ipotesi risulta, a un esame più attento, frutto di un miraggio, perché è più realistico ipotizzare che sia il passivo che la nominalizzazione d’azione derivino da un’ulteriore sorgente diacronica
Syntactic discontinuous reduplication with antonymic pairs: A case study from Italian
Full text linkThis article aims at giving a comprehensive account of a so far undescribed reduplicative pattern in Italian named syntactic discontinuous reduplication with antonymic pairs (SDRA). This pattern, characterized by the non-contiguous repetition of the same element within a larger fixed configuration defined by two spatial antonyms, can be schematized as , where Adv1 and Adv2 are antonyms (e.g., di qua 'here' ∼di là 'there'). After describing its formal and functional properties, based on naturally occurring data extracted from the Italian Web 2016 corpus, the SDRA is analyzed as an independent 'construction' in the Construction Grammar sense. This construction is claimed to convey a general value of 'plurality' and to have developed a polysemy network of daughter constructions expressing more specific functions such as 'distributivity,' 'related variety,' and 'dispersion.' In addition, we propose considering the SDRA a 'multiple source construction,' originating from the blending of two independent constructions: syntactic reduplication and irreversible binomials with antonymic adverbs. Finally, we discuss SDRA-like patterns in other typologically different languages (Russian, Modern Hebrew, Mandarin Chinese, German), pointing out similarities and differences, and paving the way to a more systematic study of discontinuous reduplication in a crosslinguistic perspective

No full textSystematics, phylogenetic relationships and dispersal of the chamois, Rupicapra spp
No full textThe Rupicaprini originated during the Miocene in Asia and dispersed during the late Miocene-early Pliocene, the Villafranchian, and the middle Pleistocene. Rupicapra and Oreamnos spread respectively to Europe and to North America in the middle Pleistocene. The Villafranchian Procamptoceras may be considered to be the closest known form to Rupicapra's ancestor. Rupicapra evolved during the middle and late Pleistocene in west Eurasia. At the beginning of the Würm glaciation the two closely related species R. pyrenaica and R. rupicapra were in existence. The former was already geographically split into Spanish-Pyrenean and central-southern Apennines groups, while the latter species ranged from the Caucasus to the Alpine Arch. R. pyrenaica shows more conservative features and possibly differentiated directly in western Europe from older representatives of the genus that migrated to western Europe in the middle Pleistocene. The cold-adapted Alpine chamois may have differentiated in eastern Europe and then migrated west-ward because of the advent of dry climates in the east Mediterranean and Pontic regions. The Alpine chamois failed to spread to the warmer southernmost regions of Europe that became a refugium area for R. pyrenaica. This dispersal hypothesis explains the morphologic, biometric, electrophoretic, and behavioral differences among modern chamois populations. © 1988
