Per una mappa dell’autotraduzione letteraria endolinguistica: dal dialetto all’italiano

This paper will examine some aspects of the intralingual self-translation in Italy, in the works of Luigi Pirandello and Franco Loi. Pirandello’s works include some of 40 plays, written in Sicilian dialect. Some of them, like Liolà, were written first in dialect (“girgentano”) and then translated into Italian by Pirandello himself: the Italian translation from the first version of Liolà (1916) is a complete recreation of the play. Franco Loi’s work, L’angel, written in dialect of Mailand, has been published with a self-translation (Milano 1994). On the basis of this brief comparison, the passage from the dialect in the Italian version, is interesting to analyze some linguistic structures of the self-translation

Étymologie : Objets, méthodes et perpectives

L’étymologie est une des branches les plus anciennes des Sciences du Langage et elle a connu un développement exceptionnel en romanistique grâce à la bonne documentation diachronique et variationnelle des langues latine et néolatines. Le volume, issu d’un colloque zurichois sur l’Étymologie romane en l’honneur du 80e anniversaire de Max Pfister entend mettre en relief les méthodes constitutives et les buts de la recherche étymologique à l’heure actuelle et montrer la richesse de ses perspectives pour la recherche future. La discussion s’articule autour de deux axes de réflexion principaux: (i) l’identification des étymons permettant de construire des trajectoires de dépendance et de parenté, (ii) l’utilisation des trajectoires étymologiques ainsi constituées à d’autres fins linguistiques. Le volume réunit parmi les meilleurs spécialistes de l’étymologie à l’heure d’aujourd’hui
