Titeln på föreläsningen var, tro det eller inte, Språkens magi. Förvåningen över sammanträffandet gick snart över till förståelse. Han är ju trollkarl, sa vi till varandra, och visst finns det något magiskt över språken. På föreläsningen trollband han publiken i den fullsatta föreläsningssalen med roliga och upplysande exempel på de varierande sätt språk har för att lösa saker och ting. Det var svårt att inte hålla med när han gång på gång ställde frågan: visst är detta magiskt? Språk och trolleri, det är två av Ingmar Söhrmans passioner och man kan misstänka att han trollar med tiden med tanke på alla språk han har hunnit lära sig, allt han har hunnit skriva och all inspiration och allt engagemang som han har hunnit sprida under åren. När man frågar honom hur han hinner med allt, svarar han med en busig min att han helt enkelt gillar att “ha fingrarna i flera syltburkar”. Mer än så är det kanske onödigt att fråga – vi vet ju alla att trollkarlar aldrig avslöjar sina tricks. Ingmar Söhrman kom till ämnet spanska vid Göteborgs universitet år 1998. Då ingick spanska i Institutionen för romanska språk. I ett sammanhang där franska, italienska och spanska talades i en och samma korridor trivdes Ingmar utmärkt. Men dessa är bara några få av de språk som Ingmar gärna både konverserar och argumenterar på. Allt är dock inte bara prat och trivsel när det gäller Ingmar. Han har under åren visat ett stort engagemang för flerspråkighet och för den mångfald som detta ger både universitetet och Sverige. Han brukar t. ex. säga att slaviska språk har en särskild plats i hans hjärta och detta har han bevisat genom att under åren ställa upp som både opponent för slutseminarium och examinator för avhandlingar i slaviska språk. Ingmar kan ryska och bulgariska och klarar också fornkyrkoslaviska ganska bra. När de slaviska språken vid Göteborgs universitet var hotade och flera

  • The Magic Horse
    The Magic Horse Once upon a time far away in the land of Persia a traveller approached the King’s palace. As he looked towards its spiralling towers and gates of gold, he could feel the excitement of the season stirring around him. A tinge of green was spreading across the dusty land and poppies bloomed in the meadows. It was Nowruz, the Spring Festival, when everyone celebrated the start of a new year. The traveller was a man of mysterious powers but, despite all the things he could do, he did not have what he really wanted. His heart beat fast as he thought of today’s plan. For many months he had been working toward his goal. Perhaps today he would achieve his heart’s desire. He joined the procession that was wending its way towards the castle gates. It was a cheerful crowd. Acrobats were limbering up beside the queue of people. Jugglers were juggling. Someone was carrying a cageful of singing birds. Each person was bringing their best skill or treasure to present to the King. It was the custom that the King would bestow a Nowruz gift on anyone that pleased him. When it was the traveller’s turn, he bowed low to the King and wheeled a large box before him. “In this box, Your Majesty, I have a horse such as you have never seen before. Upon its back I can fly through the air with great speed. And, what is more, I can teach anyone else to do the same.” “Let me see this wonder,” said the King.

  • A Structural Approach to the Arabian Nights
    AWEJ. Special Issue on Literature No.2 October, 2014 Pp. 125- 136 A Structural Approach to The Arabian Nights Sura M. Khrais Department of English Language and Literature Princess Alia University College Al-Balqa Applied University Amman, Jordan Abstract This paper introduces a structural study of The Arabian Nights, Book III. The structural approach used by Vladimir Propp on the Russian folktales along with Tzvetan Todorov's ideas on the literature of the fantastic will be applied here. The researcher argues that structural reading of the chosen ten stories is fruitful because structuralism focuses on multiple texts, seeking how these texts unify themselves into a coherent system. This approach enables readers to study the text as a manifestation of an abstract structure. The paper will concentrate on three different aspects: character types, narrative technique and setting (elements of place). First, the researcher classifies characters according to their contribution to the action. Propp's theory of the function of the dramatist personae will be adopted in this respect. The researcher will discuss thirteen different functions. Then, the same characters will be classified according to their conformity to reality into historical, imaginative, and fairy characters. The role of the fairy characters in The Arabian Nights will be highlighted and in this respect Vladimir's theory of the fantastic will be used to study the significance of the supernatural elements in the target texts. Next, the narrative techniques in The Arabian Nights will be discussed in details with a special emphasis on the frame story technique. Finally, the paper shall discuss the features of place in the tales and show their distinctive yet common elements.

    Le Simplegadi ISSN 1824-5226 Vol. XVIII-No. 20 November 2020 DOI: 10.17456/SIMPLE-152 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Giovanni Verdoliva This Thing of Darkness I (Now) Acknowledge Mine I was maybe three or four years old when a woman asked my mother if I were adopted. The reason behind her surprise was that I spoke Italian to my cousins, who were intimidated by my articulate and exclusive way of speaking, which my aunts considered so snobbish. My mother speaks mostly Neapolitan, my father both Italian and Neapolitan. However, they both shared the same high expectations for my sister and me. The frst step was the key for the future, namely the Italian language, a necessity which became more and more urgent after our moving from Campania to Friuli-Venezia Giulia in 2003. They did not want us to speak our own “indigenous” language, for Neapolitan seemed to them a harsh tongue of delinquency, the initial step toward criminality. Hence our parents would speak to us in Neapolitan, and we would reply in Italian. They did not tell us – they did not know – that the Italian language would open the doors before us, closing those behind us. The fact that knowing Italian was, for my parents, a signifcant hope, unconsciously devalued my perception of Neapolitan, the medium they used themselves. Years later, because of work, I felt, from a practical point of view, the necessity of understanding Venetian, the language all my colleagues would use among themselves. However, I have never felt the urge to learn Friulian, as much as I have never needed Neapolitan: Italian was more than sufcient.

  • Pasolini Between Giotto and Boccaccio
    Heliotropia 14 (2017) http://www.heliotropia.org The Author Re-codified: Pasolini between Giotto and Boccaccio occaccio’s preoccupation with the representation of authorship in the Decameron, as narrative projection of the empirical author’s image, B has been amply debated by scholars and has been recently re-framed in the wider context of the writer’s concern with the materiality of the book artefact as an expression of textual ownership.1 Conscious of his role as the initiator of a written narrative tradition in the Tuscan vernacular, Boccaccio strived to establish “un principio forte di autorialità”2 through tight control over the transcription of his manuscripts, principally in the autograph known as “B” (ms. Hamilton 90, Berlin, Staatsbibliothek Preussischer Kul- turbesitz), which stood in opposition to the variability of oral production and to the textual tradition manipulated and interpolated by copyists.3 Boccaccio’s fascination with authorship dates back to the Neapolitan years and became extremely apparent in the level of detail displayed in the 1 For a recent bibliography on this topic, see Alfano 2014, 203–04. 2 In the introduction to Boccaccio 2013, 32. 3 See Alfano’s observations on this point: “If Boccaccio lived in a time of active traditions, when the interpolation and textual manipulation from the reader was a normal occur- rence, it is all the more interesting that the Florentine writer (possibly following Dante’s model) established a strong principle of authorship [autorialità] and, to this purpose, he used the image of the book in its materiality of crafted object” (Alfano 2014, 31–32.

This diversity has been thoroughly covered by linguistic atlases such as the Italian-Swiss Atlas (Jaberg / Jud 1928-1940), the Italian Linguistic Atlas (Bartoli et al. 1995), or the linguistic atlases of the Dolomites (Goebl 2003, 2012), Sicily (Sottile 2018), Calabria (Krefeld 2019) and the Piedmont mountains (Cugno / Cusan 2019), for which projects have undertaken to digitise a portion of the material (Tisato 2010) 1 .

  • Framing Neapolitan Swearwords in Contemporary AVT Scenario: Swearing As Lingua-Cultural Phenomenon
    Framing Neapolitan swearwords in contemporary AVT scenario: swearing as lingua-cultural phenomenon Flavia Cavaliere, Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II Citation: Cavaliere, Flavia (2019) “Framing Neapolitan swearwords in contemporary AVT scenario: swearing as lingua-cultural phenomenon”, mediAzioni 24, http://mediazioni.sitlec.unibo.it, ISSN 1974-4382. 1. Introduction The phenomena of swearing and impoliteness “are impossible to define universally because all are culturally and personally determined” (Jay and Janschewitz 2008: 269)1. Additionally, swearing and cursing are often interchangeably used as umbrella terms and may include obscenities, profanities, blasphemy, name-calling, insulting, verbal aggression, taboo speech, ethnic-racial slurs, vulgarity, slang and scatology (Jay 2000: 9)2. Notwithstanding this confusion – most probably also a reflection of the academic neglect of this language domain – all swearwords (SWs) are ‘emotional’ words and are all closely linked to culture. Though not a global feature of human communication, swearing is a regular linguistic practice common to most societies and cultures, “as old as man and coeval with 1 The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (2000) establishes a taboo or swear word as a “ban or inhibition resulting from social custom or aversion”. 2 It might be useful to roughly distinguish between the concepts of swearwords, taboo words, slang and vulgarisms. As a general rule, swearwords are offensive words used intentionally to scorn someone. Taboo words and profanities, instead, are not just insults but proscribed words that are not accepted in a given society. Uttering them is generally perceived as an offence to the listener and they are used more frequently in oral speech than in written texts, though it is not unusual to find them in written language.
