Luigi Castiglioni was an eminent classical philologist. As professor at the Università Statale of Milan he was also mentor of other famous researchers in this field. This critical profile reconstructs the biographical events of his life and his activity as a scholar and teacher, focusing on his scholarship.

L'articolo si propone di indagare l'evoluzione del linguaggio della PA sui social media tramite l'analisi dei post pubblicati dal 15 febbraio al 15 marzo 2019 sugli account Facebook dei 111 comuni capoluogo di provincia. L'indagine ha consentito di individuare tre fondamentali modalità di utilizzo della piattaforma, cui corrispondono altrettanti stili comunicativi. Se ne ricava pertanto che non sia corretto parlare di linguaggio della PA sul web, perché in realtà le pubbliche amministrazioni usano linguaggi diversi a parità di piattaforma, sicché la tradizionale stabilità del linguaggio burocratico appare incrinata.

This paper aims to provide a first study about the categorisation of the temperature domain in Classical Armenian within the theoretical framework of the lexical typology. Through the analysis of a corpus of literary texts, it shows that the adjectives ǰerm “warm/hot” and c‘urt “cold/cool” are the domain-central and frame-neutral terms, which are flanked by peripheral nouns and adjectives for the very hot/moderate cold temperatures, restricted to the ambient sub-domain. The interpretation of gałǰ as a neutral term is questioned. The Classical Armenian system therefore appears to be different from that of the Modern Eastern Armenian as outlined in Daniel, Khurshudian 2015. Further research is needed to highlight the steps that have led to the restructuring of the system

Many modern European languages describe the sensory act as the result of an object hitting the sense organs more or less strongly. Evidence of similar expressions can already be found in ancient Indo-European languages such as Latin and Greek. Relying on linguistic corpora from ancient and modern languages, I hypothesize the existence of a cross-modal (or supra-modal) metaphor, which conceptualizes the perceptive act in itself, regardless of the sense involved, subsuming the multidimensional nature of perception.

Il contributo ricostruisce la figura e la carriera accademica di Celestina Milani (Milano 1933 - Milano 2016), glottologa e pioniera degli studi sul greco miceneo, proiettandole sullo sfondo della contemporanea evoluzione dell'Università italiana., The paper reconstructs the person and academic career of Celestina Milani (Milan 1933 - Milan 2016), glottologist and pioneer in the studies on Mycenaean Greek, projecting them against the background of the evolution of the Italian University in the last decades of the 20th century up to her demise.

Giuseppe Carboni was the typical exponent of the generation of Latin teachers active at the turn of 20th century. This critical profile reconstructs the biographical events of his life and his activity as a scholar and teacher, focusing on the theoretical contribution he made to the debate on the teaching of Latin that animated Italian culture at the time.

Review by subjects of Celestina Milani's scientific production in the field of Latin, and particularly mediaeval Latin language and literature.

Il volume raccoglie una serie di saggi che ricostruiscono la figura, la carriera e le direttrici di ricerca di Celestina Milani (Milano 1933-Milano 2016), glottologa e pioniera degli studi sul greco miceneo.

The paper aims to highlight the different way in which the Greek and the Armenian language conceptualizes the idea of nature. The Armenian words meaning 'nature' and 'natural' are Iranian loanwords — or their derivatives — that refer to the concept of 'basis' or 'root'. They seem to designate the fundamental and pristine way of being of a general/particular entity, its very basic core. This denotation is confirmed by the analysis of their use in some passages of the Armenian Bible in comparison with the Greek version.

Six Armenian nouns involving the meaning of speaking (ban, baṙ, barbaṙ, xawsk‛, zroyc‛ and patgam) are studied in order to pinpoint their uses and frequency in the Armenian version of the New Testament and in the historical writings of Agathangelos and Moses of Khoren. The aim of the research is to assess the distinctive semantic features of each noun in order to outline which elements of speaking (facets of the 'parole') Classical Armenian language singles out and encodes in its lexicon. The results point out the prominence of pragmatics features.

Tra gli enti locali presenti su Twitter il Comune di Bologna non solo si distingue per qualità e quantità dei propri contenuti ma è al centro di una vasta rete di realtà, private e pubbliche, in continuo dialogo tra loro. Esso inoltre sembra essere un punto di riferimento per altre antenne Twitter di comuni capoluogo. Tutto ciò ne fa un oggetto d’analisi privilegiato per chi voglia indagare le più recenti evoluzioni della comunicazione nel campo della PA. Il presente contributo si propone di colmare una lacuna in tal senso, concentrandosi sugli aspetti più strettamente linguistici così da fornire da un lato una descrizione dell’italiano di questo specifico account e dall’altro da additare eventuali futuri sviluppi nell’evoluzione del linguaggio burocratico.
