Naturally, www.arbasicula.org I maintain an archive that has copies of every issue we have produced. The copies I am referring to are basically leftovers.

The first option is Gaetano Cipolla really a terrible alternative that I would rather avoid. Lots of work went into the creation of each issue and to see them turned to pulp would be painful.

  • A Protocol for the Inflected Construction in Sicilian Dialects
    Annali di Ca’ Foscari. Serie occidentale ISSN 2499-1562 Vol. 49 – Settembre 2015 A Protocol for the Inflected Construction in Sicilian Dialects Vincenzo Nicolò Di Caro, Giuliana Giusti (Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia) Abstract Most Sicilian dialects display a monoclausal construction with a functional verb (usually of motion), followed by the linking element a and a lexical verb called Inflected Construction by Cardinaletti, Giusti (2001, 2003). This construction shows a high degree of cross-linguistic variation. The aim of the paper is to propose the protocols in the sense of Giusti, Zegrean (2015) to conduct fieldwork in this area. Protocol Linguistics is a metamodel of linguistic research that can be shared by linguists of different theoretical persuasion, can be accessible to non-linguists, and is meant to interface with a number of disciplines and environments such as social sciences and political planning, neuro-psychology and language rehabilitation, pedagogy and language education. The protocols consist of simple table-charts with the horizontal axis listing the empirical environments to be searched, e.g. the languages to be compared, and the vertical axis listing (clusters of) properties, named features, to be valued as +/- according to whether they are present or absent in each environ- ment. The features relevant to the investigation on the Inflected Construction rely on preliminary work by Di Caro (2015), which highlights a finer grained variation than the one presented in previous literature (a.o. Cardinaletti, Giusti 2001, 2003, and Cruschina 2013). In the spirit of the principles-and- parameters approach, the protocols for the Inflected Construction are clustered around two main dimensions, each involving clusters of properties: (i) the lexical restrictions on the functional and/ or the lexical verb; (ii) the person, tense and mood restrictions of the verbal paradigm.

  • Al Presidente Del Consiglio Dei Ministri Giuseppe Conte E P.C. Al
    Al Presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri Giuseppe Conte e p.c. Al Presidente della Conferenza delle Regioni e PA Stefano Bonaccini Egregio Presidente Gli scriventi hanno svolto un comune approfondimento sul programma Next Generation, con particolare riferimento al Piano nazionale di ripresa e Resilienza. Nel dare atto dell’impegno profuso dal Governo italiano in sede UE e dei conseguenti risultati ottenuti in favore di un importante programma d’investimenti da attuarsi con le risorse attribuite al nostro paese, gli scriventi esprimono viva preoccupazione per lo stato del confronto sulla effettiva utilizzazione di dette risorse in ambito nazionale. La bozza di programma circolata nei giorni scorsi prevederebbe una ripartizione delle risorse in ambito nazionale sulla base di un mero criterio demografico fra centro nord e mezzogiorno. Inoltre, la medesima bozza prevede una ripartizione per 6 missioni, in assenza di un preventivo confronto con le Regioni e con evidenti sottostime delle risorse necessarie in settori vitali , in particolare nel Mezzogiorno, quali, ad esempio, la sanità, il turismo, i servizi idrici. È doveroso osservare, per quanto riferito ai criteri di ripartizione territoriale delle risorse , che le prime ipotesi circolate si pongono in evidente contrasto con i criteri utilizzati in sede UE per l’assegnazione delle risorse fra i paesi membri, nonché con i generali principi di coesione sociale perseguiti dal Trattato di funzionamento dell’ UE e dalla nostra Carta costituzionale. Al fine di poterLe rappresentare le ragioni delle preoccupazioni di penalizzazione del Mezzogiorno se non dovessero intervenire adeguati correttivi e di poterLe illustrare le proposte in tema, congiuntamente condivise dagli scriventi, si sollecita un incontro su tali temi ad iniziativa della SS.

  • Il Vostro Giornale - 1 / 2 - 29.09.2021 2
    1 Il presidente Toti: “Non interrompere il processo sulle autonomie regionali” di Redazione 23 Agosto 2019 – 17:31 Regione. “Sull’autonomia le Regioni hanno fatto un percorso virtuoso di proposta. Purtroppo è rimasto tutto bloccato. Credo che l’autonomia debba andare avanti: il nostro paese ha bisogno di una profonda riforma istituzionale, che certo non servirebbe solo alle regioni. Se oggi questo è un Paese a diverse velocità non è certo per colpa dell’autonomia, che non c’è mai stata, ma di scelte sbagliate del passato, di un centralismo che tante volte ha sbagliato. Proseguendo con questo modello di centralismo non faremo altro che portare avanti questi vecchi errori”. Queste le parole del presidente di Regione Liguria Giovanni Toti che ha partecipato al dibattito su “Le Regioni e l’autonomia differenziata” al Meeting di Rimini, assieme ai governatori della Sicilia Nello Musumeci, dell’Emilia Romagna Stefano Bonaccini, del Friuli Venezia Giulia Massimiliano Fedriga, della Lombardia Attilio Fontana, e della Provincia autonoma di Trento Maurizio Fugatti. Il Vostro Giornale - 1 / 2 - 29.09.2021 2 “L’autonomia – aggiunge Toti – rappresenta una grande occasione per tutti i territori d’Italia, non solo per la Liguria. È necessario ricordare, come è stato giustamente ribadito, che non si tratta in nessun modo di mettere in discussione l’unità nazionale o il principio solidaristico. L’obiettivo è quello di valorizzare gli aspetti migliori e più strategici di ogni angolo d’Italia, ma tenendo conto delle diverse specificità locali. La Liguria ha caratteristiche che la differenziano da ogni altro luogo in Italia: l’autonomia consentirebbe di prendere decisioni e fare investimenti mirati in settori strategici, di avere la possibilità di compiere scelte tarate sulle peculiarità della nostra regione”.

  • 171 23-08 GG Le Regioni E L'autonomia Finanziaria Ok
    comunicato stampa XL EDIZIONE MEETING PER L’AMICIZIA FRA I POPOLI Nacque il tuo nome da ciò che fissavi 18-24 AGOSTO 2019 – FIERA DI RIMINI Le Regioni e l’autonomia differenziata Rimini, 23 agosto – Sette presidenti di Regioni si sono confrontati, non senza qualche scintilla polemica, sul tema dell’autonomia differenziata, possibilità prevista dall’art 116, terzo comma della Costituzione. L’incontro dal titolo “Le Regioni e l’autonomia differenziata” in Sala Neri UnipolSai, è stato un utile confron- to dialettico fra i presidenti di alcuni importanti enti intermedi: Stefano Bonaccini, Regione Emilia Romagna; Massimiliano Fedriga, Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia; Attilio Fontana, Regione Lombardia; Maurizio Fugatti, Provincia Autonoma di Trento; Nello Musumeci, Regione Siciliana; Giovanni Toti, Regione Liguria. A coordi- nare gli interventi, Lorenza Violini, professore di Diritto Costituzionale all’Università degli Studi di Milano e membro del Dipartimento Riforme costituzionali Fondazione per la Sussidiarietà. «Il federalismo». ha introdotto la professoressa Violini, «non è una cosa rigida, strutturata, ma cambia alla pari della realtà. La Costituzione prevede la possibilità all’ente regionale di decidere su alcune materie di più stretto interesse nel rapporto con i cittadini. Le materie sono, in sintesi: i rapporti con la UE, il commer- cio estero, l’istruzione, la tutela della salute, l’alimentazione, la protezione civile, la gestione dei beni cultu- rali e altro. Quindi cosa vuol dire autonomia, regionalismo, federalismo?» è la domanda posta a tutti i pre- sidenti. Bonacini: «La richiesta era stata fatta, nel febbraio 2018, al governo Gentiloni da Lombardia, Veneto, Emilia, motivando anche con elementi concreti la validità della proposta: meno burocrazia, migliore utilizzo delle risorse, competenze in risposte ai bisogni.

  • Embracing Diversity: the Establishment of a Reception Centre in Gioiosa Marea
    Dipartimento di Civiltà e Forme del Sapere Laurea Magistrale in Scienze per la Pace: Trasformazione dei Conflitti e Cooperazione allo Sviluppo Tesi di Laurea EMBRACING DIVERSITY: THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A RECEPTION CENTRE IN GIOIOSA MAREA Relatore Candidata Prof. Marcello Mollica Lucrezia Ferrà Anno Accademico: 2016/2017 ABSTRACT This dissertation is an attempt to investigate how the distance or the proximity to the reception centres for migrants could influence the perception of local residents about the presence of foreigners in their cities, and whether the different position of the centre could promote or prevent the process of integration. As a matter of fact, nowadays Italy has to deal with the migratory phenomenon and the reception of those who arrive on the Italian coasts seeking asylum or international protection. In order to manage this situation, Italy created a national Reception System. To analyse the topic I conducted a fieldwork in the village of Gioiosa Marea, in the Province of Messina, Sicily. Through the participant observation, and a series of interviews I conducted in the village, I investigated the opinions of citizens and local institutions about the place where to establish the reception centre. Data collected shows that the main purpose is to prevent the segregation of migrants in the space of the centre and their exclusion from the urban space of the village. Furthermore, evidence demonstrates that the process of integration requires a real effort by local authorities to promote the creation of deep relations between the guests of the centre and the local residents. i INDEX INTRODUCTION....................................................................................................p. 4 1.

  • Six Characters in Search of an Author Is Now Recognised As a Clas- Sic Of
    Cambridge University Press 0521646189 - Pirandello: Six Characters in Search of an Author Jennifer Lorch Excerpt More information INTRODUCTION Six Characters in Search of an Author is now recognised as a clas- sic of modernism; many would echo Felicity Firth’s words, asserting that it is ‘the major single subversive moment in the history of mod- ern theatre’.1 In 1921 its story of family strife and sexual horror, set within the philosophical context of relativism, and its self-conscious form provided a double-pronged challenge: to bourgeois social values, and to the accepted mode of naturalist theatre-making. Six Characters is a deeply disturbing play as well as an intensely exciting one. It was also very influential. Written and presented in Italy long before the word ‘director’ became part of the Italian vocabulary, it gained its early European and American reputation through the work of partic- ular directors: Theodore Komisarjevsky, Brock Pemberton, Georges Pitoeff¨ and Max Reinhardt. Georges Pitoeff’s¨ production in Paris in April 1923 was to be recognised as a major force in shaping subse- quent French theatre. In other countries the influence is perhaps less distinct, and becomes blurred with that of other Pirandello plays. Certainly, Alan Ayckbourn, Samuel Beckett, Nigel Dennis, Michael Frayn, Harold Pinter, N. F. Simpson and Tom Stoppard in the UK bear affinities with Pirandello, as do Thornton Wilder and Edward Albee in the USA. The man who wrote this European classic was born in a house called ‘Caos’ on the southern coast of Sicily near Agrigento in 1867, the second child (but first son) of six children.
