Current theoretical approaches to language devote great attention to macro- and micro-variation and show an ever-increasing interest in minority languages. In this respect, few empirical domains are as rich and lively as the Italo-Romance languages, which together with Albanian were the main research domain of Leonardo M. Savoia. The volume covers areas as different as phonology, morphology, syntax and the lexicon. A broad range of Romance languages is considered, as well as Albanian, Greek and Hungarian, shedding new light on many classical topics. The first section focuses on morphosyntax, both in the narrow sense and with regard to its interfaces. The second section focuses on clitics and pronouns. The third section deals with a number of issues in phonology and syntax-phonology interface. The last section turns the reader’s attention beyond formal linguistics itself and examines variation in the light of neurosciences, pathology, historical linguistics and political discourse.

Structuring Variation in Romance Linguistics and Beyond

Autori Vari

Questo libro a più voci si interroga su una vasta materia compendiabile in due domande: quante e quali sono le facce della post-verità e se di post-verità, di verità alternative, è lecito discorrere in una fase già avanzata della civiltà digitale. Il vero, il falso ‒ e le mille sfumature intermedie che li separano ‒ caratterizzano il menu informativo di un presente convulso e contraddittorio e di una pubblica opinione mai così compulsivamente informata e altrettanto debolmente formata. C’è poi l’area, fascinosa e romanzesca, del complotto, della verità nascosta, filtrata e custodita da poteri evocati come occulti. Le “verità alternative” si generano, infatti, in modo incontrollato e obbediscono alla logica dell’avversione e della differenza rispetto a quelle dell’establishment scientifico, culturale e politico che tradizionalmente guida le scelte collettive. Da qui un’opinione pubblica miscredente, o superstiziosamente disposta a credere a un linguaggio onirico, generalmente ambiguo e volutamente non decodificabile, che però opera sulle credenze, sui simboli e, quindi, sull’inconscio delle persone.

The twenty-three articles in this volume are based on papers and posters presented at the Olomouc Linguistics Colloquium (OLINCO) at Palacký University in the Czech Republic in June 7-9, 2018. This conference welcomed papers that combined analyses of language structure with generalizations about language use. The thematic sections are as follows: Part I. Micro-syntax: The Structure and Interpretation of Verb Phrases; Part II. Micro-syntax: Word-Internal Morphosyntax in Nominal Projections; Part III. Macro-syntax: Structure and Interpretation of Discourse Markers and Projections; Part IV: Empirical Approaches to Contrastive Linguistics and Translation Studies. Články v tomto sborníku vycházejí z příspěvků prezentovaných na konferenci Olomouc Linguistics Colloquium (OLINCO), pořádané Univerzitou Palackého v Olomouci ve dnech 7. 6. - 9. 6. 2018. Jako téma byl zvolen "Jazyk jako prostředek a lingvistická struktura", což mělo umožnit prezentaci referátů ze všech současných lingvistických disciplín, pokud se zabývají vědeckým (empirickým, formálním) popisem jazykového systému. Články jsou rozděleny do následujících tematických sekcí: Part I. Micro-syntax: The Structure and Interpretation of Verb Phrases; Part II. Micro-syntax: Word-Internal Morphosyntax in Nominal Projections; Part III. Macro-syntax: Structure and Interpretation of Discourse Markers and Projections; Part IV: Empirical Approaches to Contrastive Linguistics and Translation Studies.
