Variation in auxiliary selection, syntactic change, and the internal classification of Campidanese Sardinian
No full textIn this paper, we analyse some aspects of syntactic variation in Campidanese, comparing the urban varieties of Cagliari and Oristano with some selected rural dialects. The main focus of the paper is on perfective auxiliary selection. Assuming Perlmutter’s Unaccusative Hypothesis, we shall show a) that it is possible to formulate rules accounting for the distribution of perfective auxiliaries in the different dialects; b) that these rules also account for the verb occurring in existential constructions (although with some exceptions); and c) that the different auxiliation options documented in these varieties can be ordered along an implicational scale. Building upon previous similar comparative work on Romance perfective auxiliation, we shall also show that present-day Oristanese and some of the rural varieties in our sample display a triple, rather than a binary, auxiliation choice, and that this is to be understood as a transitional stage between the more conservative auxiliation rule still attested by the rest of rural Campidanese, and the more innovatory system of urban Cagliaritano. Not surprisingly, given what is independently known about the linguistic history of Sardinia, the syntax of auxiliation in conservative rural Campidanese coincides with that of Logudorese. Finally, we shall discuss the implications of our morphosyntactic study for the internal subclassification of Campidanese

The Indo-European Adverb in diachronic and typological perspective
No full textThe aim of the present paper is twofold: 1) to define some controversial aspects concerning the notion of “adverbiality” both from a formal and a conceptual viewpoint; 2) to apply the results of such an analysis to the oldest stages of some Indo-European languages within the framework of the so-called “dynamic typology”. To sum up, at the moment data basically confirm our original hypothesis and one of the issues we had decided to test in our previous paper (Putzu / Ramat, in press, § 2.4): an intrinsic relation between the typological indexes of synthesis and fusion exists which is aligned with the crisis of the inflectional morphology of cases in the nominal system. Side by side, productive processes of new adverbial formations start being observed. This corresponds to what we underlined at the end of the first part of this paper, i.e. there is a drift of many linguistic traditions from the synthetic type to the analytical, more diagrammatic type
Dall’anastilosi alla ricostruzione. Il caso dei Fori Imperiali a Roma e raffronti in ambito nazionale e internazionale
No full textL'anastilosi, nel linguaggio scientifico di oggi, identifica una particolare modalità di restauro che mira a ricostruire edifici distrutti per cause naturali o antropiche.
Questo è un argomento "tradizionale" ma, sfortunatamente, "drammaticamente" rilevante al momento, la cui pertinenza è resa ancora più evidente dalla recente distruzione e devastazione causata da molti dei più importanti siti monumentali del mondo. In questo caso, la questione di decidere come e quanto recuperare, rimontare e reintegrare è oggi più pressante che mai.
Quindi, lungi dall'essere superflua, una riflessione sull'argomento è, anzi, sia utile che opportuna. L'articolo parte con una precisazione delle definizioni, partendo dall'anastilosi nel senso proprio del termine, ovvero quella diretta, per proseguire poi con l'anastilosi indiretta fino alla ricostruzione. Verrà posto l'accento anche su un caso specifico e particolarmente importante, ovvero gli interventi di anastilosi effettuati negli anni Trenta del Novecento nei Fori Imperiali di Roma.From anastylosis to reconstruction. the case of the Imperial Forums in Rome and comparisons at the national and international level.
Anastylosis, in the scientific language of today, identifies a particular method of restoration that aims to reconstruct buildings destroyed by natural or anthropic causes.
This is a 'traditional' but unfortunately, 'dramatically’ relevant topic at the moment, whose pertinence is made all the more obvious by the recent destruction and devastation wrought on several of the world’s most important monumental sites. In this case, the issue of deciding how and how much should be recovered, reassembled and reintegrated is more pressing now than ever.
Thus, far from being superfluous, a reflection on the subject is, indeed, both useful and opportune. The article starts with a clarification of definitions, starting from anastylosis in the proper sense of the term, namely the direct one, to then continue with indirect anastylosis right up to reconstruction. Emphasis will also be placed on a specific and particularly important case, that is the anastylosis interventions carried out in the 1930s in the Imperial Forums in Rome
