description: The products of the Cdx genes, Cdx1, Cdx2 and Cdx4, are known to play essential roles in many developmental processes including neural tube closure, axial elongation and patterning the anterior-posterior axis of the developing embryo. Cdx1 and Cdx2 are both expressed in the endoderm of the embryo and persist throughout adulthood in the intestinal epithelium, but their functions and mechanisms of action in this lineage are poorly understood, in part due to the peri-implantation lethality of Cdx2-/- mice. To circumvent this limitation, a conditional loss of function strategy was used to inactivate Cdx2 in the intestinal epithelium. These conditional mutants were also crossed to Cdx1-/- mice, which are viable and fertile, to examine potential functional compensation between these family members. The major findings of this study are that Cdx2 regulates patterning and differentiation of the small intestinal epithelium, while Cdx1 does not appear to make a contribution to either process. Furthermore, Cdx operates upstream of Notch ligand Delta-like 1 (Dll1) in endoderm and mesoderm derivatives, demonstrating that Cdx function is similar in different lineages. Finally, Cdx2 cannot fulfill the requirement for Cdx1 in regulation of its own promoter in the intestine. This is the first in vivo evidence that these two family members have context-dependent functional specificity. Altogether, this study underscores critical roles and mechanisms of action for Cdx members in the developing intestine and mesoderm.
Slopewash processes in an arctic tundra environment, Banks Island, Northwest Territories.
Creators: name: Lewkowicz, Antoni G.

Year: 1977
Subjects: subject: Physical Geography.

description: The magnitude and frequency of slopewash processes in a permafrost environment were examined during the summer of 1977. Small instrumented plots were set up and monitored for surface runoff at one interfluve and two valley-side locations. Subsurface water was collected at two of the sites using guttering positioned at various depths in the active layer. Snowmelt was the major source of both surface aid subsurface runoff, and summer precipitation was of little importance. Volumes of surface runoff were generally greater than those of subsurface flow, although both varied with position on the slope. Partial area contribution to streamflow was usual, the source areas being those conducive to snowbank formation. Measurement of the amounts of suspended and dissolved sediment indicated that surface wash was a more important transport agent than subsurface wash. Both processes, however, appeared to be of limited importance at the interfluve location, and only transported significant amounts of sediment at the valley-side sites where large snowbanks ablated.

Fragments de modernité urbaine: formes de régénération et rénovation parisiennes
Creators: name: Gavinelli, Dino
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2009

description: Paris is a widespread urban system: a space and a landscape which have progressively become polycentric, according to logics of spatial organization which are in syntony with the city’s historical development, from the center towards its peripheral areas. The center has always been the privileged ensemble of famous places which record the succession of the different historical phases of the city. The peripheral areas, on the other hand, are spaces marked by social imbalance, ethnic miscegenation and segregation. There are therefore two Parises: the one of the symbolic landmarks and of the vivacity of its social encounters and the one of the immigrants and of their exclusion. Both these Parises, in spite of their striking differences, are involved in a process of renovation and reassembling.
 Through the years, several modernizing projects have touched various sectors of the city, and the criteria of intervention have been adapted to their changing problems. Among this criteria is the notion of lasting development, which should realize a link between the old and new areas of the city and, and at the same time, make the urban environment easier to access by all its inhabitants.
 The social and environmental commitment on the one hand improves the livability of the public areas and empowers traditional collective practices, while on the other helps contextualize the remains of the past on the basis of modern exigencies such as the improvement of the living conditions and a steadily increasing pollution safeguard.
 In order to understand the complex urban texture of a city like Paris we should proceed with an epistemological, aestetic, political and social interpretation which also takes into consideration the economic and territorial components, because all these interwoven aspects concur to the richness of the metropolitan landscape of Paris. The historico-geographic stratification of the French capital is the very basis of its inestimable value and can become a key factor of its modernity.

description: There is more to choosing a book than simply keyword searching. Browsing is a fundamental part of the information seeking process, and one that information seekers profess to value, though it has attracted little study. This dearth of research is undoubtedly in part because browsing is nebulous and difficult to quantify. In this paper we use a large circulation dataset from an academic library consortium to examine whether books in the library stacks are loaned in clusters, with a view firstly to confirming the existence of book browsing that has been reported anecdotally, and secondly to quantifying its impact on loan patterns.

description: The essay Brick Lane Patchwork takes its roots in the consideration that the most effective cultural representations of London Brick Lane are explicitly or implicitly linked to the nature of a patchwork. Many contemporary cultural representations made a vain and ambitious effort to portray the real soul(s) of Brick Lane, without taking into consideration its complexity and, therefore, delivering a distinctive image of the area as if it was a single piece of cloth, not a whole quilt. Starting from already existing cultural representations of Brick Lane (Monica Ali's first novel Brick Lane and its filmic adaptation directed by Sarah Gavron, the poetic memoir Salaam Brick Lane - a Year in the New East End and the short film Brick Lane by Paul Makkar, which are going to be privileged squared cloths to be sewn in the above mentioned patchwork), the aim of this essay is both to detect its proper cultural representations and to sew an imaginative patchwork quilt, a new and multiple image of this London area enhancing its hybrid soul(s), its blending procedure and contemporary facets.

description: A Wearable Mobility Monitoring System (WMMS) can be an advantageous device for rehabilitation decision-making. This thesis presents the design and evaluation of a proof-of-concept WMMS that uses the BlackBerry Smartphone platform. A Java program was developed for the BlackBerry 9550, using the integrated tri-axial accelerometer, Global Positioning System sensor (GPS), CMOS digital video camera, and timer to identify change-of-state (CoS) among static states, dynamic states, small activity of daily living (ADL) movements, and car riding. Static states included sitting, lying, standing, and taking an elevator. Dynamic states included walking on level ground, walking on stairs, and walking on a ramp. Small activity of daily living movements included bathroom activities, working in the kitchen, and meal preparation. Following feature extraction from the sensor data, two decision trees were used to distinguish CoS and mobility activities. CoS identification subsequently triggered video recording for improved mobility context analysis during post-processing.

description: Specific detection of biological matter is one of the key elements in a wide range of modern fields such as food industry, medicine, environmental and pharmaceutical industries. Generally, current common methods of detection (e.g. ELISA) involve molecular labelling, requirements for well-trained personnel and lengthy experimental procedures such as bacteria culture. All of the above issues result in high costs for biological analysis, and consequently, high costs for medical service, therapeutic drugs and various food products. Biosensors, on the other hand, can provide quick and cheap solutions to these problems. The field of optical biosensors is dominated by the method of surface plasmon resonance, which so far has attracted a lot of attention in the pharmaceutical industry. Investigation of long-range surface plasmon-polariton waveguides as an application for biosensing is still very novel, and most of it exists in the venue of theoretical discussions and modelling. The objective of this thesis is to demonstrate the capability of the novel optical biosensor based on plasmonic waveguides to selectively detect various biological entities in solutions. The experiments were conducted on photolithographically fabricated sensors consisting of straight gold waveguides embedded in low-refractive index fluoropolymer CYTOP and a microfluidic channel. As a proof-of-concept, a demonstration of basic sensing experiments such as detection of change in refractive index of bulk solution and non-specific adsorption of bovine serum albumin is provided. Further investigation of the sensor capabilities involved specific detection of human red blood cells and leukemia markers. Red blood cell detection was based on ABO blood grouping and included the estimation of limit of detection and signal-to-noise ratio for single cell detection. Finally, a clinically relevant problem of B-cell leukemia marker detection was targeted. The sensor demonstrated the ability to detect the relative abundance of similar proteins (immunoglobulin kappa and lambda) in a complex fluid (human serum). In addition, an experimental study on the optimization of the sensor for sensitivity was conducted.
Children's TV In India: The Role Of The Walt Disney Company In The Local Production Ecology

description: This thesis attempts to address the lack of academic research concerning the production ecology of children's television in India. It makes an important contribution to new knowledge by examining the globalising activities of The Walt Disney Company in the Indian subcontinent, and the impact of those activities on the local screen production ecology, and on national cultural representation. The research is significant because of the dearth of industry-focused studies of children's television undertaken in India, and because of its engagement with industry practitioners through the use of semi-structured interviews. Further, this research project has also been undertaken by an industry practitioner: I have drawn on my professional experience and networks developed during my career in the UK pay-TV sector, including working for Rupert Murdoch's Sky TV and The Walt Disney Company in undertaking this study. During my television career I developed an interest in the localising strategies used by Disney as it expanded across new territories, and in how each territory's channel nonetheless developed a distinctive local flavour, particularly The Disney Channel in India.

La città scrive: "détournements" nella cultura contemporanea di lingua francese
Creators: name: Riva, Silvia

description: The marks of the events on the urban landscape are a city's writing. More than writings on a city - amongst which are the memorable work of Baudelaire, the ";flâneur";, and Apollinaire's Lettre-Océan -  they represent the analysis of the city that writes on its own texture.This phenomenon relies on a procedure of diversion and estrangement which turns famous places into uncommon areas and it finds amongst its founding models the cinematographic production of Francois Truffaut (Fahrenheit 451). A similar approach allows us to capture the significance of the work of Dominique Fourcade, one of the most important contemporary French poets. In MW Chute, a  poem dated 5th October 2001, he describes the horror of the collapse of New York City's twin towers.In this piece, Fourcade describes what happened to him on 9/11 not much from a man's perspective but rather from . a poetic standpoint. Ground Zero allows his writing to jump forward, and turn into a verbal city and labyrynth. His reflections on the urban landscape  which, collapses under the explosion become a map of dispersed images made of innumerabile détournements (detour aheads), of endless variants and deviations. The event becomes the model and shape of his writing.

description: Lo sviluppo di competenze disciplinari e competenze linguistiche procedeparallelamente nell'apprendimento della storia e avviene in una situazione didattica che è, innanzitutto, una situazione comunicativa. Partendo dall'analisi della proposta di un Documento di Riferimento per lo studio della storia, elaborata dalla Divisione delle Politiche Linguistiche del Consiglio d'Europa, l'articolo evidenzia come la scuola plurilingue sia chiamata a confrontarsi con un nuovo modo di pensare all'insegnamento-apprendimento della storia che, oltre alle conoscenze disciplinari specifiche, comprenda la situazione comunicativa in cui si realizza e i diversi luoghi del discorso, ovvero i diversi domini linguistici, generi e tipologie di testi, convocati dal sapere storico.   Discipline-specific and linguistic competences are developed in a parallel way when learning history.  Both take place in a didactic situation that is, above all, communicative. This paper analyzes the Council of Europe's Language Policy Division proposal for  guidelines regarding the study of history, focusing on how multilingual schools must address a new way of thinking about the teaching of history. In addition to the specific knowledge of the subject, the communicative situations which arise and the different areas of discourse, meaning diverse linguistic fields, genres and types of texts that make up historical sources, are investigated.

A qualitative case study approach to examine the process of using mental skills in a family with special needs.
Creators: name: Klingenberg, Melissa.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Mental Health.

description: The purpose of this study was to introduce positive life skills to a family with special needs. A qualitative single case study was used to discover whether positive life skills would be advantageous as tools or resources for one family with special needs. Mental skills activities, such as Orlick's Feeling Great program for children, were adapted and presented through audio tape and activities to the family, at their home on a weekly basis. Information was gained through observations, conversations, interviews and interactions. Weekly notes were gathered and reported. Two interviews were taped mid-way through the program and at the end of the program. The interviews were transcribed; the objective was to see if the positive life skills were useful as tools or resources for the family. A detailed description of the responses of the child, the parents and the researcher are given. Through the span of this study the family was equipped with a common language and action for dealing effectively with stressful situations. Of immeasurable value was the family's discovery that despite their many demands, there was time to spend together which could re-energize each of them. The coping of this family was improved and they viewed themselves as functioning at a much greater level than before this program began. This project presents one family's journey of interacting with each other while discovering that mental skills can help them all to face the special demands and stress of their unique family. Future research could examine the collaborative efforts of education or health professions in supporting children with disability and their families, with respect to the usefulness of mental skills as a means of coping with unique demands.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Chemical.

description: The development of comprehensive methods to control polymer quality in terms of polymer reactor operation and polymer property trajectory monitoring during a polymerization reaction is key to the efficient production of tailored, high quality polymers and the improvement of plant operability and economics. To this end, an in-line mid-IR probe manufactured by ASI Applied Systems was used to monitor single and multicomponent solution and emulsion polymerization processes. The probe, which employs Attenuated Total Reflectance - Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), is capable of collecting, information on the state and behaviour of polymerization reactions in a chemically aggressive and highly viscous reactor environment. In this study, the disappearance of monomer was monitored using the probe by following the changes of characteristic infrared absorbance peaks of monomers. Experimental procedures were designed to ensure the proper use of the ATR-FTIR spectroscopy technique to perform off-line and in-line monitoring of multicomponent polymerization systems.

description: L'Unione Europea ha posto il multilinguismo come elemento centrale della propria politica linguistica e aspira al raggiungimento di una situazione in cui ciascun cittadino conosca almeno due lingue comunitarie oltre alla propria madrelingua. Per raggiungere questo obiettivo esiste una vasta gamma di modelli di educazione plurilingue. L'articolo prende in considerazione l'intercomprensione, ossia l'apprendimento  ricettivo di più lingue attraverso lo sviluppo di strategie che facilitino la trasferibilità di meccanismi cognitivi, conoscenze e abilità già acquisite da una lingua all'altra e analizza Itinéraires Romans un progetto realizzato dall'Unione latina, un'organizzazione fondata per valorizzare l'eredità culturale e le identità del mondo latino. Itinéraires Romans è un progetto didattico on line rivolto ai ragazzi della scuola primaria di secondo grado che riunisce una serie di sei moduli su tematiche diverse aventi come obiettivo la stimolazione dei giovani internauti a scoprire i legami che esistono tra le lingue neolatine. Le lingue coinvolte sono: il catalano, lo spagnolo, l'italiano, il francese, il portoghese e il rumeno.   The European Union has made multilingualism a central element of its linguistic policy and it aspires to create the conditions so that every citizen knows at least two EU languages besides their mother tongue.  To reach this goal, there is a vast range of models for plurilingual education. This paper focuses on intercomprehension, or the receptive learning of several languages through the development of strategies which facilitate the transferability of cognitive mechanisms, knowledge and skills already mastered from one language to another.  It analyzes Itinéraires Romans, a project implemented by the Latin Union.  This organization was founded to enhance the cultural inheritance and the identity of the Latin world. Itinéraires Romans is an on-line didactic project for 3rd,4th and 5th grade students made up of a six module series on different themes that foster discovery of aspects linking neo-Latin languages. The languages featured are: Catalan, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese and Romanian.

L’ORALITÀ A SCUOLA, DA PLATONE AL PORTFOLIO EUROPEO DELLE LINGUE
Creators: name: Sobrero, Alberto A.
Publisher: name: Italiano LinguaDue
Year: 2010

description: L'oralità risulta primaria rispetto alla scrittura sia per quanto riguarda la razza umana (filogenesi) sia per quanto riguarda lo sviluppo individuale (ontogenesi), tuttavia essa ha sempre goduto di minor prestigio della scrittura. Nella prima parte di questo articolo sono ricostruiti i diversi momenti in cui questa gerarchia è stata fondata e si è affermata stabilmente: dai contrasti epocali tra Socrate e  Platone da una parte e i Sofisti dall'altra all'affermazione della centralità della scrittura da parte di Aristotele e degli aristotelici; fino, poi, all'Illuminismo, in cui l'oralità veniva ormai identificata con l'inciviltà, la rozzezza e l'arretratezza, posizione che in qualche misura permane ancora oggi. Nella seconda parte dell'articolo si ricostruisce il graduale recupero del valore dell'oralità nell'insegnamento linguistico, attraverso un'analisi dei programmi scolastici italiani, dalla Legge Casati del 1859 ai Programmi della scuola media e di quella elementare rispettivamente del 1979 e del 1985, alle più recenti "Indicazioni Moratti e infine alle "Indicazioni Fioroni". In queste ultime si sottolinea la necessità di finalizzare l'insegnamento dell'oralità anche a scopi interculturali più ampi, prioritari nella società attuale, quali il rispetto e la promozione delle differenze linguistiche e culturali, lo sviluppo del plurilinguismo; la centralità e l'autonomia dell'apprendente.   Historically, the oral tradition has been more important than writing, both in human history (philogenesis) and in individual, personal history (onthogenesis), but it has always had far less prestige. The first part of this paper surveys important moments in the formation and establishment of this hierarchy, starting from the fundamental contrast between the Sophists on the one hand, and Socrates and Plato from the other, to the centrality of Aristotle and Aristotelianism, up to the Age of Enlightenment and the identification between orality, barbarism and roughness, still common today. In the second part, the gradual rediscovery and positive reevaluation of the oral tradition in language teaching is mapped out. Italian school programmes are analyzed, from Legge Casati (1859)  to the Programmes of 1979 and 1985, up to the recent 'Indicazioni Moratti' and 'Indicazioni Fioroni'. These latest pieces of legislation underline the need to highlight the oral tradition within didactics to meet the wider intercultural  goals that today have become real priorities.  This in order to promote respect for linguistic and cultural diversity, the development of plurilingualism as well as the centrality and autonomy of learners within the learning process.

description: Two runways at the same Australian airport were resurfaced with 50-60 mm of asphalt between September 2010 and July 2011. The Marshall-designed 14 mm nominal sized asphalt was typical of airport-quality asphalt in Australia. A premium acid modified bitumen, locally known as multigrade or M1000, was used. Approximately six months after construction, horizontal shear creep deformations were observed. The failures were only observed in the braking zone associated with one landing direction. Only the second of the two resurfaced runways was affected. Around 60 isolated failures presented over two to three years, after which, new failures ceased to appear. During construction, the fine aggregate (dust) source changed from one quarry to another. It followed that one runway received asphalt made with dust from one quarry and the other runway received asphalt made with dust from the other quarry. Both dust sources were olivine basalt with a track record of adequate performance in road asphalt production. Subsequent investigation identified that the second dust contained predominantly Hisingerite clay minerals. Hisingerite is a rarely encountered member of the Smectite-group of clays and possesses physical properties indicative of potentially adverse impacts on asphalt stability and shear stress resistance. The original dust contained Nontronite clay minerals, a more common and less concerning member of the Smectite-group.
L’UMORISMO NELLA DIDATTICA DELL’ITALIANO PER STRANIERI. PROPOSTE DIDATTICHE .

Year: 2010

description: L'articolo, dopo aver presentato le più avanzate ricerche di carattere pragmalinguistico che hanno contribuito a definire la "competenza umoristica" come una specifica abilità linguistico-comunicativa,  invita a considerare l'umorismo come uno strumento valido ed efficace per rendere la lezione di italiano per stranieri un momento di apprendimento, ma anche di socializzazione, di comprensione e tolleranza interculturale. I testi umoristici costituiscono infatti un campione di lingua autentico, ricco di contenuti linguistici, paralinguistici e culturali, insomma, un ottimo spunto per la creazione di attività didattiche non solo interessanti, ma anche divertenti e motivanti. L'obiettivo finale di questo studio è proporre attività didattiche - di cui si fornisce esempi -  per insegnare (con) l'umorismo nel contesto di una classe di lingua italiana per stranieri ispanofoni. Le attività didattiche proposte si basano sull'analisi di un corpus bilingue spagnolo/italiano di testi umoristici prestando particolare attenzione agli elementi linguistici e paralinguistici che caratterizzano l'umorismo nelle due lingue e ai contenuti socioculturali specifici necessari per poter comprendere il testo umoristico. Abstract   After a thorough survey of the latest research regarding pragmatic-linguistic issues which have contributed to defining "humor competence" as a specific linguistic-communicative skill, this article suggests considering humor as a valid and effective tool to make Italian language lessons for foreigners into moments for learning as well as socialization, understanding and intercultural tolerance. Humorous texts present authentic language, rich with linguistic, paralinguistic and cultural content, and they are an excellent stimulus for creating interesting, fun and motivating didactic activities. The aim of this study is to propose didactic activities - with examples- to teach humor (with humor) in the context of an Italian language class for Spanish mother tongue students.  The didactic activities proposed highlight the linguistic and paralinguistic elements which characterize humor in both languages, as well as the specific socio-cultural content needed to understand humorous texts.

All of these sports separate competitors into weight divisions, attempting to reduce physical differences and create 'an even playing field'. It is common for these athletes (and those in other weight category sports) to undertake both chronic and rapid weight loss (RWL) prior to competition in an attempt to obtain a competitive edge over smaller opponents. Recognising this, reviews and guidelines have been established to assist with optimising chronic body mass (BM) management in combat sport athletes. However no consolidated guidelines for RWL exist, despite the vast majority of combat sport athletes engaging in these practices. Thus the overarching aim of this body of work was to complement existing chronic BM guidance by developing pragmatic guidelines and recommendations regarding acute BM manipulation to assist Australian Olympic combat sport athletes.

Climate change impacts and adaptation

description: Adaptation to climate change in coastal areas is urgently required to minimise impacts and foster resilient communities, but a significant implementation gap exists. Several factors – including economic, financial, institutional, technological, ecological, or social – contribute to the outcomes of adaptation, and the need to address these varied range of challenges has been widely recognised. But limits to adaptation are endogenous to societies, and effective coastal adaptation, and societal transformation more broadly, are contingent on and underpinned by public sentiment. Research on public support for coastal adaptation is growing, but a more nuanced, multi-dimensional understanding is needed. In response, the purpose of the research was to contribute a more sophisticated understanding of the nature of public preferences for coastal adaptation. Four research questions and associated
description: objectives were formulated to contribute to this purpose and to respond to specific knowledge gaps: (1) what types of coastal adaptation do coastal residents support and why?; (2) can coastal residents be grouped based on their arrangement of preferences for different types of coastal adaptation?; (3) what is the diversity of adaptation support and inclination to support a range of options?; and (4) how do types of events (rapid or slow-onset) affect preferences? These questions are explored in two case study sites: Yeppoon, Queensland, Australia, and Shediac, New Brunswick, Canada. An explanatory sequential mixed method design was employed, whereby a quantitative, cross-sectional survey was implemented in the case study sites, and subsequently, qualitative, semi- structured interviews were conducted, informed by and designed to explain the findings from the quantitative phase.

LIPSI. IL LESSICO DI FREQUENZA DELL’ITALIANO PARLATO IN SVIZZERA
Creators: name: Prada, Massimo
Publisher: name: Italiano LinguaDue
Year: 2010

description: L'articolo illustra le caratteristiche del LIPSI, il lessico di frequenza dell'italiano parlato in Svizzera.  Il LIPSI, elaborato con metodi di linguistica computazionale sulla base di  materiali linguistici raccolti sul campo, è il risultato di una ricerca durata quattro anni realizzata nell'ambito dei progetti dell' OLSI (Osservatorio linguistico della Svizzera italiana), istituito per la promozione della lingua e della cultura del Cantone Ticino.  Il LIPSI non solo fornisce la lista di frequenza di circa 13.000 parole dell'italiano parlato nel Cantone Ticino e nelle Valli Grigioni italiane, ma la confronta con quella del LIP e di altri strumenti di statistica linguistica  apparsi in Italia, e approfondisce alcuni aspetti che chiariscono meglio i contorni dell'italiano "statale" svizzero. Tale denominazione  si fonda su ragioni di natura sia geografica-politica-amministrativa sia interne alla varietà e propone una considerazione dell'italiano come una lingua pluricentrica, una lingua cioè che presenta accanto al tradizionale centro metropolitano italiano, imperniato sul modello fiorentino assorbito nella lingua letteraria con apporti di altre varietà, un altro centro almeno parzialmente autonomo di irradiazione e di sviluppo, quello della Svizzera italiana. Il LIPSI si configura inoltre come strumento metodologico importante per la ricerca e la didattica nell'ambito dell'italiano L1/L2.   This article illustrates the characteristics of LIPSI, the frequency lexicon of Italian spoken in Switzerland. LIPSI was compiled using computational linguistics methods based on materials collected in the field. It is the result of a four-year study carried out as part of OLSI (Osservatorio linguistico della Svizzera italiana), an institution which promotes the language and culture of Canton Ticino. LIPSI not only supplies a frequency list of about 13,000 Italian words spoken in Canton Ticino and the Italian Grigioni Valley, but it also compares this list to LIP and other statistics tools used in Italy, investigating a few aspects which better clarify the form of "state" Swiss Italian language. This denomination is based on geographical-political-administrative reasons as well as internal varieties. Italian is considered, in this study, to be a pluri-centric language. Different varieties exist besides traditional central metropolitan Italian, centered on the Florentine model absorbed by literary language with other kinds of contributions.  Another center, partially autonomous in terms of spread and development, is that of Italian-speaking Switzerland. LIPSI is an important methodological tool for research and didactics in the field of Italian L1/L2.

“I PROMESSI SPOSI” DI GUIDO DA VERONA: APPUNTI SULLA LINGUA E SULLO STILE
Creators: name: Sergio, Giuseppe
Publisher: name: Italiano LinguaDue
Year: 2010

description: Nel dare alle stampe la sua parodia dei Promessi Sposi (1930), Guido da Verona non immaginava di compiere delitto di lesa maestà nei confronti del totem manzoniano né che sarebbe stato oscurato dal controllo igienico fascista. Nel saggio si sostiene infatti, anche sulla base di evidenze ricavate dall'analisi del manoscritto, che la sua intenzione non fosse satirica, bensì ludico-parodica. Il cuore del saggio si incentra sull'analisi comparativa tra la versione daveroniana e l'ipotesto manzoniano, con particolare attenzione alle scaturigini del comico. Oltre che mettere in evidenza i tratti caratterizzanti la prosa di da Verona, captante e alluvionata di wits  linguistici, il saggio descrive le strategie comiche usate dall'autore, quelle basate sul carattere e sulle situazioni e quelle del discorso vero e proprio. Nel corso dell'analisi  si evidenzia come sia il comico del significante sia l'infrazione dei legami logici e di successione cooperino a incrinare la visione ordinata del mondo e della lingua strenuamente voluta e ottenuta da Alessandro Manzoni.   When the parody of Promessi Sposi (1930) was sent to press, Guido da Verona did not imagine he was committing the crime of lese-majesty with regard to the Manzonian totem, nor that it would be blacklisted by the Fascist regime. This paper shows that, based on the analysis of the manuscript, the author's intention was not satirical, but a playful parody. It is a comparative analysis between the da Verona version and the Manzonian hypertext, with particular attention placed on the origin of the comic. Besides highlighting the traits that characterize the text brimming with linguistic wit by da Verona, the paper describes the comedic strategies used by the author based on the characters and situations, as well as in the discourse itself. The analysis shows how the comic meaning and the breaking of logical and temporal links crack the orderly vision of the world and the language carefully chosen and utilized by Alessandro Manzoni.
