    Il lavoro indaga la lingua di una commedia inedita in tre atti del commediografo e attore romano Ettore Petrolini, "Peppe er pollo". Il copione offre una complessa stratificazione delle redazioni, dattiloscritta e manoscritte. I copiosi e consistenti interventi correttori, apportati da mani differenti e con diverse finalità, conducono a un processo d'italianizzazione. Il testo è stato scelto per far parte dell’Archivio Digital Variants (coordinatore Domenico Fiormonte, Progetto PRIN 2007-2009 “CoOPERARE”), ed essere codificato secondo le linee guida compatibili con XML-TEI (Text Encoding Iniziative), che ne consentano approfondite analisi linguistiche e stilistiche; sarà successivamente inserito in una piattaforma online che garantirà la rapida estrazione e comparazione delle varianti, il computo delle differenze, la collazione

    Speech acts in mathematics

    We offer a novel picture of mathematical language from the perspective of speech act theory. There are distinct speech acts within mathematics (not just assertions), and, as we intend to show, distinct illocutionary force indicators as well. Even mathematics in its most formalized version cannot do without some such indicators. This goes against a certain orthodoxy both in contemporary philosophy of mathematics (which tends to see mathematics as a realm in which no pragmatic features of ordinary language are present) and in speech act theory (which tends to pay attention solely to communication in ordinary language but not to formal languages). As we will comment, the recognition of distinct illocutionary acts within logic and mathematics and the incorporation of illocutionary force indicators in the formal language for both goes back to Frege’s conception of these topics. We are, therefore, going back to a Fregean perspective. This paper is part of a larger project of applying contemporary speech act theory to the scientific language of mathematics in order to uncover the varieties and regular combinations of illocutionary acts (silently) present in it. For reasons of space, we here concentrate only on assertive and declarative acts within mathematics, leaving the investigation of other kinds of acts for a future occasion

    In this paper we argue, against a somewhat standard view, that pragmatic phenomena occur in mathematical language. We provide concrete examples supporting this thesis

    Neuropsychological deficits and neural dysfunction in familial dyslexia

    We report the neuropsychological profile and the pattern of brain activity during reading tasks in a sample of familial dyslexics. We studied our subjects with an in-depth neuropsychological assessment and with functional neuroimaging (fMRI) during word and pseudoword reading and false font string observations (baseline condition). The neuropsychological assessment revealed that familial dyslexia, in both persistent and compensated forms, is often associated with deficits in verbal short-term memory, phonological awareness and automatization abilities. The functional results showed a lack of activation in the posterior areas of the reading network. This study, together with the previously published VBM study (Brambati, S.M., Termine, C., Ruffino, M., Stella, G., Fazio, F., Cappa, S.F. and Perani, D., Regional reductions of gray matter volume in familial dyslexia, Neurology, 63 (2004) 742-5), provides a multiple modality evaluation of familial dyslexia. The neuropsychological assessment showed cognitive deficits associated with dyslexia that persist also in subjects with compensated reading deficit. Both the anatomical and the functional study point out a deficit in the posterior areas of the reading network. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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
