The present paper addresses the categorial content of affixes forming a set denominal adjectives in Italian, arguing that they are substantially derivational counterpart oblique case/adpositions. Specifically, we argue act as elementary relators, following Manzini and Franco, who characterized cases prepositions general relators expressing relations is-included (⊆)/includes (⊇), or, other words, their is what Belvin den Dikken dubbed “zonal inclusion”.
In this paper we provide a comprehensive comparative overview of existentials sentences in Romance Creoles. Based on our empirical investigation, also theoretical analysis existential constructions which mimic ‘transitive’ possession. Specifically, assume that the pervasiveness predicative possession strategy for Creoles has reflexes their syntax, configuration , building recent work Manzini and Franco (2016), (2017, to appear), Lorusso (2018) will be draw. essence, argue ‘contextual domain’...
We report on the third- order nonlinear optical properties of sol-gel prepared CdS quantum dots (with different thermal treatments, filling factors and matrix), commercial Schott filters (CdSSe nanodots), compared to a bulk crystal. Also PbS have been characterised. The spectral dispersion third-order response samples has determined by third harmonic generation (THG). By taking into account concentration appropriate local field correction factor, we able extrapolate renormalised coefficient...
In dialects of Apulia, Calabria and Sicily a restricted number verbs, including ‘stay/be’, ‘go’, ‘come’ ‘want’ embed finite complements, either bare or introduced by a. One aim the present work is to make corpus data in Manzini Savoia (2005) accessible English. The displays certain amount microparametric variation, which also known, less complete form, from independently collected data. On basis evidence presented, we will discuss two major syntactic analyses proposed for this type...
In Italian, causatives are expressed through a periphrasis make + infinitival V. When the embedded verb is transitive, subject generally introduced by to/by preposition. For this reason, some scholars have analyzed as verbal complex with single argument structure, involving functional layer. paper, we offer cross-linguistic comparison of causative clausal embedding. First, compare Italian perception verbs, where no prepositions introduce subject. Then, to those in Balkan languages and...
Abstract Phonological regularities in a given language can be described as set of formal rules applied to logical expressions (e.g., the value distinctive feature) or alternatively distributional properties emerging from phonetic substance. An indirect way assess how phonology is represented speaker’s mind consists testing phonological are transferred non-words. This objective this study, focusing on Coratino, dialect southern Italy spoken Apulia region. In complex process vowel reduction...
In this paper, we will provide a N-to-D analysis able to account for the punctual vs. habitual reading of proper temporal names in Italian, focusing on days, which clearly signal difference their possible aspectual encoding at morphosyntactic level. When these items appear as adverbials modifying an event: i) such event is interpreted one if name preceded by definite determiner or adpositional item; ii) it ‘bare’.
In this paper we will analyse the production and interpretation of forms present perfect ( passato prossimo ) in children’s Italian. Young children use past or perfective mainly to refer telic predicates imperfective atelic predicates: Aspect First Hypothesis (Antonucci Miller 1976). We focus on distribution auxiliaries first perfect. First, since Italian there are two auxiliaries, be for unaccusatives have transitives, show that is mastered earlier than have: properly assign which...
