ASSESSING THE FAIRNESS AND MISLEADING POTENTIAL OF ESTABLISHED AND NOVEL FOOD NAMES 191 Viktor Smith INTRODUCTION This volume contains a selection of papers presented at the two day Italian-Danish linguistic seminar entitled Lingua, cognizione e identità: estensioni della tipologia delle lingue endo- ed esocentriche. The seminar was held at the Italian Department of the University of Florence on the 22nd and 23rd of September 2009 and was co- organised by Emanuela Cresti and Massimo Moneglia, Florence, and Iørn Korzen, Copenhagen Business School (CBS), as a part of the LABLITA workshop in Corpus Linguistics. Korzen is a member of the CBS based research group “TypoLex”, which for the past 13 years has been exploring linguistic typology, focussing mainly on the typological differences between the Germanic and Romance languages, which the group refers to as endocentric and exocentric languages, respectively. The scholars are led by Michael Herslund and have organised annual conferences and seminars at various European universities. The seminar in Florence was the group’s eleventh seminar in general and its fourth in Italy, following similar events in Turin (1999), Rome (Roma Tre, 2003) and Cagliari (2007). According to the group’s terminology, an endocentric language is a language whose verbs are lexically precise and concrete whereas its nouns are abstract and vague. Therefore, the informational weight can be said to be located in the centre of the sentence (hence “endo-” [within] “-centric”). On the other hand, an exocentric language has lexically precise and concrete nouns and abstract verbs, thus locating the informational weight outside the verbal centre of the sentence (hence “exo-” [outside] “-centric”). The Germanic languages prove to be (more or less clear-cut) endocentric languages and the Romance languages exocentric, and the mentioned lexical differences entail differences at other levels as well, linguistic (e.g. in the textual structure and in the choice of anaphors) as well as extralinguistic (e.g. in dimensions such as cognition and identity). The papers presented at the seminar and now compiled in this multilingual volume deal in various ways with these phenomena and are grouped into three main parts. The first part contains contributions focused primarily on grammar and addressing the endo-/exocentric approach theoretically with examples from the Romance languages Italian and French and the Germanic languages English, German and Danish. In Predicati e sostantivi complessi: complementarità e isomorfia, Michael Herslund (CBS) investigates the extent to which the basic Cresti E., Korzen I. (eds), Language, Cognition and Identity. Extensions of the endocentric / exocentric language typology © 2010 Firenze University Press. VIII LANGUAGE, COGNITION AND IDENTITY complementarity between the exocentric and endocentric languages is repeated in complex expressions, or secondary lexicalization. In exocentric languages, the canonical pattern is one of abstract verbs expressing e.g. PATH and concrete nouns expressing CONFIGURATION, whereas the opposite is the case in endocentric languages, where verbs express MANNER and nouns FUNCTION. When creating concrete verbal expressions of MANNER in exocentric languages, a procedure of compounding is chosen (viz. venire correndo), whereas in endocentric languages the secondary lexicalization creating more abstract verbal expressions has the shape of a derivation (viz. Hinauslaufen). When creating abstract nouns expressing FUNCTION rather than CONFIGURATION, exocentric languages use derivation (viz. sale – saliera), in contrast to endocentric languages, which in order to create nouns expressing CONFIGURATION rather than FUNCTION use compounding (viz. Salz – Salznapf, Salzstreuer). The basic complementarity of the primary lexicalization is thus repeated in the creation of expressions taking on the features that are characteristic of the opposite type. In her paper Kantian grammar applied to French, Danish and English, Hanne Korzen (CBS) continues her investigation of Kant, whom - according to Korzen - many linguists refer to, though seemingly without taking him seriously. The scholar shows that a closer look at Kant’s cognitive model yields insight into important aspects of the syntactic-semantic constitution of the sentence in different languages. Her main study object is the difference between space and time adjuncts on the one hand, and causal adjuncts on the other. It appears that causal adjuncts behave differently from adjuncts of place and time and that their behaviour and the way they differ from time and place adjuncts is the same in French, Danish and English although the three languages are radically different in many other respects. Hanne Korzen has created a sentence model that seems to fit nicely into Kant’s cognitive model, and which may indicate that we are dealing with universal phenomena. The paper I verbi generali nei corpora di parlato. Un progetto di annotazione semantica cross-linguistica by Massimo Moneglia and Alessandro Panunzi focuses on one main lexical correlation of exocentric

    NOVEMBER 2016 Poche Parole Vol. XXXIII, No. 12 PRESERVING AND PROMOTING ITALIAN LANGUAGE AND CULTURE SOCIAL MEETINGS/EVENT OVERVIEW Social meetings take place on the third Sunday of the month, September through May, at the Friendship Heights Village Center: 4433 South Park Avenue, Chevy Chase, MD (please see map on back cover) November 20, Friendship Heights Village Center, 1-5:30 PM, Join us for a film, conversation hour and a presentation from Mr. Richard McCarthy, director of Slow Food USA. Please confirm your attendance to [email protected]. PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE On a lovely fall Sunday afternoon drenched in the colors of the season one could perhaps be excused for missing an ICS Social Meeting, but over 50 of us did not miss something special in Richard Spear’s masterly presentation of connoisseurship in discussing Caravaggio’s luminous art. A brief report is included in this issue. It will be a little cooler and the fall colors past their prime, so be sure to come to the Nov. meeting, this time at our usual Friendship Heights VC venue starting with a film at 1:00 pm, a conversation hour at 2:00, and a presentation at 3:00 by the director (from NY) of Slow Food USA, Mr. Richard McCarthy. We are collaborating with the US-Italy Global Affairs Forum and the Italian Cultural Institute of the Embassy of Italy in this effort. The talk will involve a topic related to the Slow Food and/or Terra Madre projects. Light refreshments and soft drinks will be served after the presentation (sorry, FHVC now has a no red wine policy! Sigh.) We look forward to seeing you there.

  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks at a State Dinner Honoring Prime Minister Matteo Renzi of Italy October 18, 2016
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks at a State Dinner Honoring Prime Minister Matteo Renzi of Italy October 18, 2016 President Obama. Good evening, everybody! Audience members. Good evening! President Obama. Buona sera! Audience members. Buona sera! President Obama. On behalf of my—Michelle and myself, welcome to the White House. And welcome to the final state dinner of my Presidency. But in the immortal words of a great Italian American, Yogi Berra, "It ain't over till it's over." And so we have a wonderful evening ahead of us as we celebrate the great alliance between the United States and Italy with our great friends, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and Mrs. Agnese Landini. Now, I have to say, this is a remarkable crowd. I will confess that, at first, I was a little nervous about this dinner. After all, Matteo is called Il Rottamatore—The Scrapper, The Demolition Man. [Laughter] And Roberto Benigni is here as well, and he has promised not to jump on the tables. [Laughter] Ask any Italian or Italian American, and they'll tell you that the dinners can get somewhat animated. People can get excited, especially if your grandmother thinks you're not eating enough. And so Michelle and I decided to just think of this as a typical Italian Sunday dinner: surrounded by family and great friends—paisans—and pasta. But tonight we're reminded that American democracy has been graced by the touch of Italy. Our declaration that "all men are created equal" was penned by Thomas Jefferson, and it was a concept shared by his friend, also from Florence, Firenze, Filippo Mazzei.

  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks at a Welcoming
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks at a Welcoming Ceremony for Prime Minister Matteo Renzi of Italy October 18, 2016 President Obama. Good morning! Audience members. Good morning! President Obama. Buon giorno! Audience members. Buon giorno! President Obama. Today is bittersweet for Michelle and I because this marks the final official visit and state dinner of my Presidency. But—— Audience members. Aww! President Obama. It's okay. [Laughter] We've saved the best for last. And so on behalf of Michelle and myself, and on behalf of the American people, it is my great honor to welcome, from Italy, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and Mrs. Agnese Landini. As Americans and Italians, we're here because of each other. America's Founding Fathers—Washington, Jefferson, Adams—drew inspiration from Cincinnatus, Cicero, Cato. Prime Minister Renzi, you've spoken with great emotion about the American soldiers of World War II who liberated Italy so that families like yours could live in freedom. Today we again pay tribute to all those who risked their lives—and often gave their lives—including the heroes of the Italian Resistance, so that we can stand here today as two free peoples. And on a personal level, today is a chance for Michelle and me to reciprocate the incredible warmth and hospitality that the Italian people have shown us on each of our visits to Italy. When, years ago, Michelle and I traveled through Tuscany, back when we didn't have kids so we could have a really good time. [Laughter] You remember that? [Laughter] Then, when, in my first term, we brought our daughters to Rome to experience the timeless beauty of the Eternal City.
