This paper takes into account two objections often raised to those who foster the use of the feminine form of job titles when they are referred to women. The first objection is that the majority of job titles can only be in the unmarked masculine form and are not connected to the gender of the person referred to; the second objection is that feminist movements have only recently called for the use of feminine job titles, and this claim is unprecedented in the history of the Italian language. The study of some feminine job titles (avvocata, architetta, sindaca, ministra, deputata, direttrice, studentessa, dottoressa e professoressa) shows that they have always been present -- albeit more or less frequently -- during the whole history of the Italian language. In particular, the use of feminine forms was quite common between the end of the 1800s and the early 1900s, while they were replaced by unmarked masculine forms mostly in the second half of the 20th century.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the use of interactional pragmatic markers in a multilingual corpus of child language in the Ladin valleys in South Tyrol (Italy). It has been argued that in contact-induced contexts speakers tend to prefer the set of elements of the pragmatically dominant language, in order to reduce the cognitive pressure they are exposed to, in particular in a minority language (cf. Matras 2000). Yet, very little is known about the use of pragmatic markers in child language, even though the pragmatic competence, i. e. the appropriate use of language as well as the proper realization of speech acts in a particular situational context, is one of the key competences children need to acquire during the language acquisition process. The present study was carried out within the sociolinguistic framework of the Ladin valleys, which is characterized by a varied multilingualism on the institutional level and in family contexts. The corpus contains approximately eight hours of spoken data from eight children aged three to six across the three official languages Ladin, German and Italian. This work aims at analysing the micro-functions of interactional pragmatic markers and at investigating how the use of these elements is linked to the linguistic and cognitive development of preschool children. It also contributes to the study of contact-induced phenomena that emerge in a multilingual context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper focuses on delegated papal jurisdiction during the 13th century based on the Apulian documentation, through the examination of some case studies, which are not exhaustive of the sources related to this issue preserved in Apulia. Within a relationship between the papacy and local churches, and considering the pope's primacy of jurisdiction, it analyses the forms and procedures of delegated jurisdiction, highlighting the motivations that led Apulian churches and monasteries to request the intervention of delegate judges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article addresses an instance of non-restitution within the Italian post-colonial context. In doing so, it aims to draw attention not only to totemic, highly symbolic objects within the context of imperialism, looting and appropriation, but also to the importance of hoaxes, forgeries and copies, which can be equally meaningful. Specifically, it will consider the glasses of Omar al-Mukhtar, leader of the resistance to the Italian occupation of Libya, as they appear in museums and shops and are evoked (on paper, in films) in different contexts. The biography of the glasses will be investigated as they multiply and appear in various places, like a modern-day colonial ‚relicʻ. Finally, the article reflects on the meaning of fakes and copies within the broader debate on restitution and reparations, seeing non-authenticity as a potential resource rather than simply a problematic issue, and examining the production of counterfeits as a way of reaffirming agency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article opens with a summary of the historical evolution of Italian cultural heritage law to facilitate a better understanding of the reasons underlying its eminently protectionist attitude. It then briefly discusses the factors giving rise to a recent – albeit fairly moderate – shift towards a more solidaristic approach to regulating cultural property, together with the remaining, and significant, legal obstacles to the restitution of objects unlawfully, or at any rate unethically, appropriated during times of colonial occupation. To this effect, two particularly significant cases (the Aksum stele and the Venus of Cyrene) are also briefly analysed. The paper concludes with a discussion of the road still ahead in comparison with the approach taken by other countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper provides an overview of the varieties of Cisalpine Occitan. From a sociolinguistic perspective, these varieties may be regarded as both second-degree and endangered languages, though they have been involved into promotion policies for several decades. From a linguistic standpoint, the varieties of Cisalpine Occitan display features that can be traced back to an Alpine Occitan diasystem, though showing some structural similarities with Francoprovençal and Piedmontese. Some selected features of Cisalpine Occitan, belonging to different linguistic levels (phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax and vocabulary), are presented and discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The work aims to provide a description of the sociolinguistic and linguistic reality of the hamlet of Timau in the municipality of Paluzza. In contrast to the other villages of the Municipality, the population of Timau has been speaking for centuries, alongside Italian and Friulian, the Timavese code, a Carinthian based variety that nevertheless displays distinctive linguistic characteristics at all levels. In the paper we will present the origins of the village, the sociolinguistic position of Timavese in the community’s repertoire, the similarities and differences between Timavese and Carinthian and the corpus and status planning created for this variety after its recognition by the national law 482/1999 (“Norme in materia di tutela delle minoranze linguistiche storiche”), aimed at protecting the historical linguistic minorities recognized in the national territory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Italy shows a multitude of languages and dialects bound to different areas, language communities, ethnicities and personal identities. Many of the historical minority languages of Italy are not known to everyone, not even to all Italians though living on the same territory. This special issue aims at describing such language varieties to be found in the Northern pat of Italy, dealing first of all with the history of a certain language variety. Each paper also describes the main linguistic charactericics, mainly at phonological, semantical and morphosyntactic level. Then some of the most important intiatives to preserve such valuable inheritage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper focuses on the contribution of the lexicon of material culture of seafaring origin in the irradiation of the idiomatic language in Italian. After a basic overview of some tools of the sea (hook, anchor, net, oars) from which very common figurative expressions stem, the paper deals with abboccare all'amo, from which interesting historical-etymological features with many semantic implications appear. The investigation shows the lexical and semantic evolution that characterises the passage from material culture word of the seafaring field (concrete sense) to figurative language, with a special focus also on the semantics of verbs frequently used not only in the idiom under investigation (abboccare all'amo), but also in other idiomatic expressions of Italian. By comparing the earliest occurrences of phraseological uses related to amo in lexicographic repertories, such as TLIO and GRADIT, but also in sectorial dictionaries on idioms, some interesting diatopic and diachronic information on lexical and synonymic variants occurs.

The topic of the paper is the comparative and contrastive study of some selected paremiological units in the field of foreign language teaching. The starting point is the paremiological minimum (PM), which is one of the key concepts of current paremiodidactics and a useful tool in teaching L1 as well as L2/FL. The attention is focused on Italian and Slovak, two languages having different origin, but sharing a common European geographical and cultural context, including the most important literary sources. Since Italian does not currently have (apart from some partial attempts) a PM, the PM available for Slovak is taken as a starting point. The goal of the paper is to examine a group of animal proverbs and identify the most appropriate correspondences in Italian. Study contributes to a deeper knowledge of proverbs as well as cultural knowledge in Slovak - Italian perspective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The number seven is, since ancient Eastern cultures, the one that most clearly expresses philosophical, religious, astrological and Kabbalistic symbolism. It is considered the symbol of value and balance. This paper aims to reconstruct the vicissitudes of the phraseology underlying the number seven in Italian and its dialects [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper focuses on Italian idiomatic expressions (i.e.) fare le corna and avere le corna as a symbol of cheating. The i.e. are enquired in databases of written and spoken Italian starting from real use and evaluating occurrences. This analysis sheds light on the lexical and syntactic flexibility of the expressions highlighting their possible changes in context, the semantic relevance of every element and the productivity of the i.e. both on the level of single utterances and on that of discourse. The analyses lead to considerations about the pragmatic value of the use of fare and avere le corna and their possible modifications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Behind many Italian's idioms are hidden mythological figures and stories coming from Greek Mythology. Today, the so-called Gen Z seems to be more and more distant from a well-balanced knowledge of the classical world -- partly because the study of epics is not deep enough during school term, partly because models and cultural references have changed. Have these idioms become opaque to them or are they still transparent? By means of a questionnaire to a sample of two High School classes of IIS Carlo Urbani (Roma), the aim of the present intervention is therefore to test the students' figurative competence regarding ten E.I. related to the classical universe. Based on their answers and hypotheses, this paper then reflects on the frequency of use and intelligibility of these E.I. and suggests different ways to approach young people to the epic while studying. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to examine, in the context of various types of idiomatic phrases and proverbs of Promessi sposi (1840-1842), the so-called somatic idioms, in particular those that contain lexemes referring to parts or organs of human anatomy. Examples are given, especially, of two categories of somatic idioms: first of all, those that have little attestation in the literary tradition prior to the novel, and of which vocabularies identify as the first example the Promessi sposi. Secondly, are analysed some of those found by the Author in vocabularies and writers, as documented in Manzoni's marginalia and linguistic works. The arguments given can help reveal Manzoni's idea of an Italian language formed with the common background of all dialects and prove that his novel convey the expressions examined in the current Italian phraseology.

This paper explores the presence of phraseological expressions in Alfredo Panzini's Dizionario Moderno, considering the first edition (1905) and the last edition edited by the author (1935). The rich phraseological variety of the dictionary reveals itself in various aspects: spoken and dialectal language, literary quotations, co-presence of various modern and ancient languages, specialist languages in their relationship with the common language. In the last paragraph, the essay analyses the role of phraseology in the light of Panzini's linguistic ideas: according to the author, phraseological expressions are a vital and fundamental element of every language. Their presence in the Dizionario Moderno thus shows Panzini's attention to the evolution of the Italian language in the first decades of the 20th century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the educational project «dal dialetto alla lingua», promoted by Lombardo Radice and institutionalized through the reform by minister Gentile (1923), many volumes dedicated to teaching Italian to dialect-speaking students have been characterized by the presence of proverbs widespread in the reference areas. This paper proposes to investigate the characteristics of the paremiological heritage transmitted in the dialect-Italian bilingual volumes, which also present differences in the production intended for the same area determined by the choices of the individual authors. Through the analysis of a large sample of volumes addressed to different Italian areas, we will try to hypothesize which translation were most functional to the objectives proposed by the method, between a type of translation close to the dialect text, an explanatory translation, or a translation that transmits an Italian-Tuscan language model.
