The sociolinguistic situation of Italy has changed deeply in recent decades due to the influx of immigrants. The article is divided into two parts. The first part offers an insight into the newly investigated area of migrant languages which has provided descriptions of the linguistic repertoire of some migrant communities as well as an assessment of linguistic diversity. The second part deals with research in second language acquisition (SLA): the theoretical framework of the so-called 'Pavia Project', devoted to Italian as a second language since 1986, is outlined as well as some of its major findings. In the end new research perspectives are suggested.","PeriodicalId":40434,"journal":{"name":"Linguistica e Filologia","volume":"21 1","pages":"185-208"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2005-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71266725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Nominativo e Accusativo nelle lingue dell’Italia antica diverse dal Latino","authors":"F. Benucci","doi":"10.6092/LEF_18_P7","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.6092/LEF_18_P7","url":null,"abstract":"This paper is part of a group inquiry, developed in the late 90s of the 20th c., concerning the hypothesis that the true unmarked Case in Latin was Accusative rather than Nominative, and deals particularly with the ‘comparative dimension’ of that hypothesis, i.e. the syntactic situation of other italic languages. The italic evidence of the contexts where, according to the promoters of the research, the so-called default Accusative would occur is thus surveyed and, discussing its archaeological and antiquarian contexts in individual cases, the author shows that all that evidence can be traced back to ‘elliptical constructions’ (i.e. occurrences of phonologically null but syntactically active Verbs) or to other well known syntactic phenomena, suggesting that this was the situation in Latin as well. Other examples of ‘non canonical’ Accusative in italic languages are then reviewed and recognized as instances of Preposition incorporation onto Verbs of different types or as particular cases of predicative small clauses in argumental (accusatival) contexts. The paper ends by examining various examples of nominals in ‘absolute’ use and noticing that they evenly occur in Nominative, which thus proves to be the true unmarked Case, also utilized by italic languages for ‘asyntactical’ uses: the final theoretical suggestion concerning the conditions for licensing those Nominative in non structural contexts (i.e. the direct lexical insertion in an utterance ‘root’ functional structure), can also apply beyond italic languages, accounting in the first place for some particular epigraphic Latin evidence and then seeking for a more general value.","PeriodicalId":40434,"journal":{"name":"Linguistica e Filologia","volume":"18 1","pages":"7-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2004-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71266516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper will show that in Mary Magdalene the accomplishment of a precise prosodic scheme is the reason why such ‘confusing’ varieties, ascribed to the scribe’s misunderstanding, have on the contrary been selected by the author for his own poetical purposes. Such forms will then be categorized into two classes: (a) peculiar forms that can be explained by the metrical structure of the stanzas where they occur, and (b) peculiar varieties, misunderstood by scholars, that can be reconstructed etymologically thanks to the rhyme-pattern of the stanza in which they occur. The result will be that the metrical and rhyme patterns of the play have a fundamental role in identifying those diachronic and diatopic varieties employed by the Mary Magdalene author which are apparently nonsense and have therefore been underestimated in previous studies.","PeriodicalId":40434,"journal":{"name":"Linguistica e Filologia","volume":"18 1","pages":"147-167"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2004-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71266185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our aim is to show that different kinds of lexical production (true independent production, repetition with assimilation and imitation of the acoustic form) can be interpreted as different degrees of lexical competence. The first step in our research is a complete lemmatization of 6 texts of 2 learners (native speakers of Tigrinya) as described in § 1. In § 2 we explain how we can assign a “status of independence” to each form produced by the learner, according to the relationship it establishes with the direct input of the native speaker. The data (in the appendix) is analysed both from a quantitative and qualitative perspective (§ 3) and the results drawn from our study seem to confirm the validity and the usefulness of the notion of “independent use” as an empirical parameter for the analysis of the development of lexical competence. This allows us to highlight the learners’ progress towards a more complex organisation of the semantic relationships in L2 vocabulary and their freer, more confident and more creative use of the language.","PeriodicalId":40434,"journal":{"name":"Linguistica e Filologia","volume":"18 1","pages":"61-117"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2004-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71266300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comparison with other Old Norse texts allows to detect their generic resemblance with Buslubœn; it points out a few peculiarities as well, that apparently are due to the author’s choice to put together fragments of traditional texts, thus shaping a new one, whose mixed appearance is not at all infrequent among late texts intending to describe a heathenism that had already been forgotten in part.","PeriodicalId":40434,"journal":{"name":"Linguistica e Filologia","volume":"18 1","pages":"119-146"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2004-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71266128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
