The main goal of this paper is the analysis of the language ideologies that Arturo Pérez Reverte supports in the opinion pieces that he publishes weekly in XL Semanal. From his position of discursive privilege, the writer and academician endorses a panhispanic perspective that is ambiguously linked to Spanish Nationalism. From this point of view, Spanish is at the same time a meeting point for a large group of people in a postnational context and a dominant lengua común among the languages spoken in Spain. Regarding linguistic change, Pérez Reverte supports with violence the authority of the Real Academia Española and denies legitimacy to other possibilities of change, which are presented as linked with ephemeral political interests.

Items of food lexicon, particularly relevant to fruit names, observed in the dialect spoken in Nemi, in the Castelli Romani area, are characterized by survival of the neutral gender. Materials, collected through dialectal inquiries, are analyzed from both etymological and morphological points of view and grouped according to their plural endings: -a, -ora, -i, and -e. A marked vitality is shown by the class of nouns with - a ending in the plural, such as u melu / e mela (eng. 'the apple, the apples'). This morpheme is also found in other sectors of the lexicon and in toponymy. An insight is also given regarding the sociolinguistic use of those forms, that reveals the variable vitality of the dialect among people of different age ranges. This specific type of morphological analysis applied to a specific set of lexical items confirms the picture of extraordinary variety of the Median dialects of Italy, which the dialect of Nemi including those of the Castelli Romani area, belongs to.

This paper traces the emergence of the anthropological question in the philosophy of Heinrich Rickert by examining the role played by anthropological philosophy in the latter developments of Rickert's system of thought. In pursuing this goal, we point to a set of works written in the 1930s as the turning point in Rickert's inquiry, where the inner articulation of his philosophical system was redefined by designating a broad space for the anthropological issues. By focusing on such issues this paper also wishes to lay out a thorough introduction to the first Italian translation of Rickert's essay Thesen zum System der Philosophie and to a part of the unpublished notes the philosopher used in delivering the 1932 lectures on Sozialphilosophie. According to the herein hermeneutic thesis, these works -- together -- are indeed the locus where we should recognise the earliest emergence of the anthropological question in Rickert's philosophy.
