Impegno politico e parodia linguistica. La campagna elettorale in dialetto di Borazio
No full textIl contributo fornisce l’edizione critica e l’analisi linguistica delle Lettere dalla Sguizzera di Francesco Paolo Borazio (1918-1953), già noto come autore di composizioni poetiche nel dialetto della sua città natale, San Marco in Lamis (Foggia). Borazio, ex scalpellino con un basso livello di istruzione, compensato da molte appassionate letture personali, immagina di essere un emigrante all’estero e scrive quattro fittizie lettere semi-dialettali per sostenere la campagna elettorale del partito socialista, in vista delle vicine elezioni politiche italiane del 1953. In queste lettere originali, in bilico tra aspetto scherzoso e fondamentale serietà, il ricorso prevalente a un dialetto caratterizzato con precisione ed efficacia si alterna alla parodia dell’italiano approssimativo dei semicolti.Political Activism and Linguistic Parody. The Electoral Campaign in Dialect by Borazio · The contribution provides the critical edition and linguistic analysis of the Lettere dalla Sguizzera by Francesco Paolo Borazio (1918-1953), already known as the author of poetic compositions in the dialect of his native town, San Marco in Lamis (Foggia). Borazio, an ex-stonemason with a low level of education compensated by many passionate personal readings, imagines to be an emigrant abroad and write four fictitious semidifferential letters to support the electoral campaign of the Socialist Party, in view of the nearby Italian political elections of 1953. In these original letters, poised between joking appearance and fundamental seriousness, the prevailing recourse to a dialect characterized with precision and effectiveness alternates with the parody of the approximate semi-illiterate’s Italian
Tra romanesco medio e volgare sabino. Le carte di Iohanni de Massarolu della Pretella (1492) e l’interazione linguistica ‘dal basso’ tra Roma e il contado
No full textL'articolo analizza l'interazione linguistica tra il romanesco medio e il volgare sabino nel tardo Quattrocento attraverso la lingua documentata nelle carte di Iohanni de Massarolu della Pretella (1492), capopastore sabino corrispondente del romano Battista Frangipane.
Le carte contabili e personali di Iohanni evidenziano infatti, su un fondo volgare chiaramente mediano, interferenze della varietà linguistica di Roma dovute all’intento dello scrivente di approssimarsi alla varietà del proprio corrispondente, testimoniando gli effetti sul piano linguistico dell’interazione tra città e contado e documentando, al tempo stesso, la diffusione dell’alfabetizzazione nell’area limitrofa all’Urbe e in stretto contatto con Roma
Electrophysiological Correlates of Stimulus-driven Reorienting Deficits after Interference with Right Parietal Cortex during a Spatial Attention Task: A TMS-EEG Study
No full textTMS interference over right intraparietal sulcus (IPS) causally disrupts behaviorally and EEG rhythmic correlates of endogenous spatial orienting before visual target presentation [Capotosto, P., Babiloni, C., Romani, G. L., & Corbetta, M. Differential contribution of right and left parietal cortex to the control of spatial attention: A simultaneous EEG-rTMS study. Cerebral Cortex, 22, 446-454, 2012; Capotosto, P., Babiloni, C., Romani, G. L., & Corbetta, M. Fronto-parietal cortex controls spatial attention through modulation of anticipatory alpha rhythms. Journal of Neuroscience, 29, 5863-5872, 2009]. Here we combine data from our previous studies to examine whether right parietal TMS during spatial orienting also impairs stimulus-driven reorienting or the ability to efficiently process unattended stimuli, that is, stimuli outside the current focus of attention. Healthy volunteers (n = 24) performed a Posner spatial cueing task while their EEG activity was being monitored. Repetitive TMS (rTMS) was applied for 150 msec simultaneously to the presentation of a central arrow directing spatial attention to the location of an upcoming visual target. Right IPS-rTMS impaired target detection, especially for stimuli presented at unattended locations; it also caused a modulation of the amplitude of parieto-occipital positive ERPs peaking at about 480 msec (P3) post-target. The P3 significantly decreased for unattended targets and significantly increased for attended targets after right IPS-rTMS as compared with sham stimulation. Similar effects were obtained for left IPS stimulation albeit in a smaller group of volunteers. We conclude that disruption of anticipatory processes in right IPS has prolonged effects that persist during target processing. The P3 decrement may reflect interference with postdecision processes that are part of stimulus-driven reorienting. Right IPS is a node of functional interaction between endogenous spatial orienting and stimulus-driven reorienting processes in human vision

Differential Contribution of Right and Left Parietal Cortex to the Control of Spatial Attention: A Simultaneous EEG-rTMS Study
No full textWe have recently shown that interference with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of right posterior intraparietal sulcus (IPS) cortex during the allocation of spatial attention leads to abnormal desynchronization of anticipatory (pretarget) electroencephalographic alpha rhythms (8-12 Hz) in occipital-parietal cortex and the detection of subsequently presented visual targets (Capotosto et al. 2009). Since lesion data suggest that lesions of the right frontoparietal cortices produce more severe and long-lasting deficits of visual spatial attention than lesions of the left hemisphere, here, we used the mentioned rTMS-electroencephalographic procedure to test if the control of anticipatory alpha rhythms by IPS is asymmetrically organized in the 2 hemispheres. Results showed that interference with either left or right IPS during covert spatial attention equally disrupted the normally lateralized anticipatory modulation of occipital visual cortex, with stronger alpha desynchronization contralaterally to the attended visual field. In contrast, only interference with right IPS induced a paradoxical pretarget synchronization of alpha rhythms and bilateral deficits of target identification. These results suggest that the control of spatial topography of anticipatory alpha rhythms in occipital-parietal cortex is shared between left and right IPS cortex, but that right IPS uniquely contributes to a bilateral prestimulus activation of occipital visual cortex
La geografia linguistica di Dante : varietà mediane e perimediane
No full textIl nucleo centrale del saggio prende in esame le osservazioni che Dante compie nel De vulgari eloquentia sulle vulgaris Ytalie variationes da lui individuate nella porzione centrale della Penisola, all’interno dei domini linguistici che oggi sono classificati come ‘area mediana’ e ‘area perimediana’. La definizione areale moderna e quella ricavabile dai volgari antichi per questi due domini sono sovrapposte alla geografia linguistica dantesca definita nel trattato, mostrando nelle partizioni qui proposte i riflessi di dati linguistici effettivi. La straordinaria anticipazione dell’area linguistica perimediana si affianca nel De vulgari eloquentia ad altre brillanti intuizioni, dalla nozione di vulgare latium a quella del principio di variazione delle lingue nello spazio e nel tempo, evidenziate nei primi due paragrafi del lavoro. Il saggio si sofferma infine sull’analisi dell’exemplum di parlato proposto da Dante per la Marca Anconitana, evidenziandone la complessa tradizione e aggiungendo delle ipotesi interpretative a quelle proposte finora.The central nucleus of the essay examines the observations that Dante makes in De vulgari eloquentia on the vulgaris Ytalie variationes identified by him in the central portion of the Peninsula, within the linguistic domains that today are classified as ‘area mediana’ and ‘area perimediana’. The modern area definition and the one that can be obtained from the ancient vulgaria for these two domains are superimposed on Dante’s linguistic geography defined in the treatise, showing in the partitions proposed here the reflections of actual linguistic data. The extraordinary anticipation of the ‘perimediana’ linguistic area is flanked in De vulgari eloquentia by other brilliant intuitions, from the notion of vulgare latium to that of the principle of variation of languages in space and time, highlighted in the first two paragraphs of the work. Finally, the essay dwells on the analysis of the exemplum of speech proposed by Dante for the Marca Anconitana, highlighting its complex tradition and adding interpretative hypotheses to those proposed so far
