The paper addresses the pragmatic functions of exemplification in Italian by focusing on a set of exemplifying constructions such as non so (Eng. 'I don't know') and tipo (Eng. 'like'). Based on a corpus-based study, we may hypothesise that such constructions may be formally heterogeneous but all of them are employed to express mitigation. Indeed, they may be conceived as procedural tools to conceptualise pragmatic acts with different illocutionary force as examples of a wider set in order not to impose or to weaken the burden of speaker's commitment.KEY WORDS: exemplification, mitigation, categorisation, politeness, conversation. ResumenEl artículo se refiere a las funciones pragmáticas de la ejemplificación en Italia, centrán-dose en una serie de construcciones como non so (esp. no sé) y tipo (esp. como). Basándonos en el estudio de tres corpus lingüísticos, podemos hipotetizar que tales construcciones son formalmente heterogéneas. Sin embargo, todas se emplean para expresar atenuación. De hecho, estas se podrían concebir como procedimientos para conceptualizar actos pragmáticos con distinta fuerza ilocutiva, o sea como ejemplos de una amplia serie que tiene el fin de no imponer ni debilitar la carga de compromiso del hablante.PALABRAS CLAVE: ejemplificación, atenuación, categorización, cortesía, conversación. DOI: 10.14198/ELUA2018.ANEXO4.02 Energía eólica y territorio en Andalucía: diseño y aplicación de un modelo de potencialidad para la implantación de parques eólicos ResumenEl trabajo analiza la potencialidad del territorio para la implantación de parques eólicos en la Comunidad Autónoma de Andalucía. Para ello se construye un modelo locacional utilizando las capacidades analíticas de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG) y las Técnicas de Evaluación Multicriterio (EMC). En este modelo se señalarán las zonas con mayor potencialidad para la implantación eólica, así como aquéllas en las que ésta resulta desaconsejable o incluso incompatible con otras actividades y usos del territorio. Los resultados ponen en evidencia la existencia de diversas limitaciones en Andalucía para el desarrollo de la energía eólica, pero, además y sobre todo, pueden ofrecer un instrumento de gran utilidad para un impulso ordenado del sector eólico en la región.Palabras clave: Energía eólica; Territorio; Técnicas de Evaluación Multicriterio; Sistemas de Información Geográfica; Andalucía. AbstractThis paper analyzes the potential of the land to set up wind farms in Andalusia (Southern Spain). A locational model using the analytical capabilities of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Multi-criteria Evaluation Techniques (EMC) has been built. This will be able to point out the areas with the greatest potential for wind power, as well as those in which it is inadvisable or even incompatible with other activities and land use. The results highlight the existence of several constraints in Andalusia to develop wind energy, but also and above all, they provide a useful tool to promote the wind energy industry in the r...
Il fine di questo lavoro è analizzare un insieme di frasi commento, ossia alcuni parentetici de-verbali che vengono utilizzati per esprimere la postura valutativa del parlante tramite specifiche strategie allocutive. Si tratta di forme intrinsecamente interattive e fàtiche che vengono pronunciate per esprimere l’atteggiamento del parlante più che per richiamare l’attenzione percettiva dell’interlocutore. Ci riferiamo a parentetici come guarda e sai che esprimono essenzialmente enfasi tramite un’operazione di richiesta di validazione all’interlocutore in occorrenza con asserzioni ed enunciati variamente valutativi; inoltre analizziamo strategie come pensa (te), ossia marcatori che codificano la meraviglia del parlante rispetto a un contenuto nuovo e/o inaspettato. Come vedremo, nello svolgimento di tali funzioni giocano un ruolo cruciale alcuni processi di grammaticalizzazione e routinizzazione essenzialmente tramite convenzionalizzazione di inferenze con il risultato ultimo dell’esplicitazione della postura valutativa del parlante mediante forme inerentemente interattive.
Stemming from a wh-question, the Sicilian marker cusà (cu sa ‘who knows’) expresses several epistemic meanings, which can also reach the realm of conditionality. The paper explores the discourse profile of cusà as it emerges from the analysis of diachronic data (from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries) and present-day informal Sicilian, namely spoken Sicilian and present-day informal Sicilian as written by speakers on the web. These data suggest a possible path of development leading from the wh-question to new functions. We propose that the origin of this development can be explained in the light of the strategy of the “impossible question”, while the diverse functions of cusà emerged through concomitant processes of desemantization, reanalysis, and subjectification.
