    (a)-Topics and animacy

    No full text
    The aim of this paper is twofold: first, we intend to contribute to the debate on the identification of the features to which syntactic locality expressed in terms of the featural Relativized Minimality/ fRM principle appears to be sensitive (Rizzi 2004; Friedmann, Belletti & Rizzi 2009); second, we aim at providing a better characterization of the distributional and interpretive properties of the process of a-marking in the Topic position of the Italian left periphery identified by syntactic cartography, in relation to (in)animacy (Belletti & Manetti 2019). To these ends, we examined the role of animacy in a production experiment eliciting left dislocated topics with 5-year-old Italian-speaking children. To the extent that a-marking is related to a kind of affectedness of object topics (Belletti 2018a), we examined whether an inanimate left dislocated object could constitute a felicitous a-Topic. Furthermore, the question is directly addressed whether complexity effects in fRM configurations can be modulated in the animacy mismatch condition, with an inanimate left dislocated object and an intervening (animate) lexical subject in ClLDs. Our results show that, in the tested animacy mismatch condition, children seldom a-marked the pre-posed object. Instead, they appeared to creatively explore other solutions to overcome the production of the hard intervention structure, mainly using null subjects. As children are not ready to compute the intervention configuration with a lexical preverbal subject, but could not naturally adjust it through a-marking of the inanimate topic, they ended up opting for different types of productions in which intervention was eliminated. If the animacy feature seems to be implicated in the process of a-marking to some extent, it is not a feature to which the fRM principle is sensitive in building the object A’-dependency in ClLD: we conclude, in line with previous work, that animacy is not among the features implicated in triggering syntactic movement (in Italian). © 2021 The Author(s)

    The contribution of italian scientists to the geology of Turkey.

    Fifty years ago, Giorgio Pasquarè published the results of his studies on the volcanism of Anatolia conducted on the behalf of the mta (Maden Tektik ve Arama, Turkey’s National Geological Service). Since then, a lot of Italian scientists have carried on, with increasing continuity and frequency, scientific studies in all the fields of Earth Sciences on Anatolia, matched by a number of collaborations with the Turkish scientific community. From the middle of the last century, the Italian geological community had increasingly been attracted by the geology of Turkey, for several reasons. On one hand, the richness and variety of the geology of the region and on the other hand, the many similarities with the Italian geology. Italy and Turkey are both geologically active lands with even very large active volcanic belts, significant seismic activity, Cenozoic fold and thrust belts characterized by impressive ophiolitic sutures and both are areas rich of Earth resources, such as mineral deposits and geothermal energy. The main purpose of this Special Volume is to present a review on some of the research activities carried out by the Italian geologists in Turkey, from the early ’60s of the twentieth century to the present day. This volume arose from the request made by the organizers of the 7th Geochemistry Symposium organized by the University of Ankara in Antalya in May 2016, which hosted a special poster session, where these papers were presented. This volume starts with a historical summary of researches in the field of volcanology, petrology and statigraphy carried out by the first generation of Italian scientists between 1962 and 1982 (Manetti and Agostini: The contribution of the first Italian geologists to the knowledge of the Anatolian Cenozoic volcanism), followed by two papers about the development of volcanic activity in Western Anatolia (Agostini et alii: The Italian-Turkish collaboration on Western Anatolia volcanism and Geodynamics: state of the art) and in Central and Eastern Anatolia (Agostini et alii: Recent studies on Central and Eastern Anatolia volcanism). Two articles are targeted to the regional geology of Pontides, whose geological and stratigraphic data, together with those of geophysics, provided a major contribution to the genetic and evolutionary models of the Black Sea (Boccaletti et alii: The contribution of the Italian Geologists to the knowledge of the Pontides; Boccaletti and Manetti: The role of the Pontides for the interpretation of the origin and evolution of the Black Sea). One of the first subjects of investigations of the Italian geologists in Turkey, along with those about volcanology and petrology, was the study of ophiolitic belts in Anatolia: since 1965, a series of studies were conducted to compare the emplacement mechanisms, attitude and age between the impressive Anatolian ophiolitic complexes and those from the Northern Apennines and Corsica (Bortolotti et alii: The Italian contribution to the studies of Anatolian ophiolites). In the last decade, these studies started back with a main focus on the intra-Pontide ophiolite suture (Marroni et alii: The Italian contribution to the study of the Intra-Pontide suture zones in Central Turkey). Thermochronological studies (Cavazza and Zattin: Exhuming Anatolia: the Italian contribution to the lowtemperature thermo-chronological study of Turkey and surrounding regions) were another important field of studies, which allowed the identification of a Middle Miocene episode of cooling/exhumation along the Arabia-Eurasia collision zone as well as the existence of an Oligocene precursor of the North Anatolian Fault in the Western Marmara Sea region. The last paper (Alçiçek et alii: Extensional structures and hydrothermal fluid flow in Western Anatolia: a review from the Neogene-Quaternary Dinar and Denizli Basins) concerns one of the most important georesources of Turkey, related to impressive extensional fault structures: geothermics and thermal waters. We wish to stress that since 1966 to date there has been a continuous series of studies carried out by the Italian scientific community, without hiatuses, in cooperation with the Turkish scientific community. In the Appendix it is reported a list of publications involving Italian scientists on studies related with Anatolian geology. We believe we provided an almost complete list of published papers until 2005, although in the last ten years, the research activities of the Italian geologists in Turkey spread and had substantially increased and the papers listed in the Appendix are likely not complete. We apologize if some references were not quoted. From the publications listed in the appendix, it is also evident that there are very important research fields, which were not reviewed in the papers enclosed in this Special Volume, such as, among the others, archaeometry, marine geology, geophysics and geodynamics. Finally, the Editors acknowledge all of the authors who contributed to this volume, and M.Y. Sava¿çın and all the organizing committee of the 7th Geochemistry Symposium held in Antalya on 16-18 May 2016

    Discorso interiore/discorso esteriore. In dialogo con Giovanni Manetti

    A partire da un contributo di Giovanni Manetti (2016) si ripercorre la contrapposizione fra linguaggio esteriore e linguaggio interiore nella tradizione filosofica greca. Si delineano due posizioni di fondo: la posizione discontinuista, rappresentata dagli Stoici, nega etica e razionalità agli animali, perché privi di 'linguaggio interiore' (logos endiathetos), ossia di ragione (logos), anche se capaci di imitare il linguaggio proferito (logos prophorikòs). All'estremo opposto, la posizione continuista, rappresentata dagli Accademici e dagli Scettici, argomenta a favore di una continuità cognitiva fra uomo e animale. Scopo dell'articolo è mostrare che la posizione discontinuista non si origina da Platone e Aristotele, da indagare alla luce della tradizione precedente. Nell'epos omerico il linguaggio è visto insieme come uno (legein, raccogliere) e molteplice. La molteplicità dei contenuti enunciativi diviene manifesta solo nel linguaggio vocale. Una sola voce possente (opa megale) si traduce infatti in una molteplicità di detti (epea) 'numerosi come fiocchi di neve in inverno'. Questo è il retroterra da cui si origina la fase aurorale della riflessione greca sul linguaggio. Parmenide considera la molteplicità sensibile 'nome' (onoma), ossia apparenza, ‘linguaggio esteriore’. Verità è solo la coincidenza fra 'dire' (legein) e 'comprendere' (noein) che si manifesta nell'unità assoluta dell'eon, l' 'è' della predicazione. Per Platone, il logos vocale é fatto di nomi e verbi che sono eidola, immagini deformate degli oggetti rappresentati. A un livello esteriore, vocale, i contenuti corrispondenti a nomi e verbi sono rappresentati come distinti; ma a un livello interiore – interiore alla proposizione, prima che al singolo parlante – i contenuti enunciativi si fondono in assoluta unità. Il logos infatti non nomina (onomazei) soltanto, ma compie o delimita qualcosa (ti perainei): e a quest'intreccio si dà il nome di logos (Soph. 262 d). Su questa linea si colloca la distinzione aristotelica fra linguaggio esteriore ed interiore (Anal. II 76 b 24-27) e lo stesso incipit del De interpretatione. La nozione di 'linguaggio interiore' non tematizza dunque, in Aristotele, l'interiorità dell'uomo, o la specificità della mente umana, ma l'interiorità del linguaggio; il grado zero della sua articolazione

    Surfaces of Albanese general type and the Severi conjecture

    In 1932, F. Severi claimed, with an incorrect proof, that every smooth minimal projective surface S of irregularity q = q(S) > 0 without irrational pencils of genus q satisfies the topological inequality 2c(1)(2) (S) greater than or equal to c(2) (S). According to the Enriques-Kodaira's classification, the above inequality is easily verified when the Kodaira dimension of the surface is less than or equal to 1, while for surfaces of general type it is still an open problem known as Severi's conjecture. In this paper we prove Severi's conjecture under the additional mild hypothesis that S has ample canonical bundle. Moreover, under the same assumption, we prove that 2c(1)(2)(S) = c(2) (S) if and only if S is a double cover of an abelian surface. (C) 2003 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. Weinheim

    'Discorso interiore' e 'discorso esteriore' nel dibattito antico sulla razionalità degli animali

    Nella storia del pensiero occidentale i confronti e le relazioni tra animalità e umanità sono pressoché costanti. Tale rapporto è stato vissuto ed illustrato dai filosofi in modo assai difforme, inquadrandolo negli orizzonti dei loro sistemi filosofici. Il saggio mostra come nell'antichità un numero considerevole di autori ha cercato di approfondire la differenza tra animale e uomo situandola per lo più nel possesso di una particolarità mentale. Particolarmente rilevante è il contrasto tra autori di osservanza stoica, da una parte, che negavano agli animali il possesso di una facoltà di 'linguaggio interiore' (lasciando, ma con molti dubbi, loro il possesso di una capacità di 'linguaggio interiore') ed autori che dal secondo secolo a. C. al terzo secolo d. C., dall'altra (Carneade, Plutarco, Sesto Empirico, Porfirio) attribuivano agli animali entrambi i tipi di discorso, nonché una mente razionale
