The semantics of the preposition ὑπέρ in Homeric Greek

[it] Le preposizioni sono parole altamente polisemiche, che, nel greco omerico, mantengono o non hanno ancora sviluppato significati, poi eliminati o convenzionalizzati nel greco postomerico. In questo articolo, analizzo la semantica della preposizione ὑπέρ nel greco omerico, usando la terminologia della grammatica cognitiva. Inoltre, adotto il modello della polisemia strutturata per individuare il significato originario di ὑπέρ e per distinguere, tra i suoi significati, quelli innescati dal contesto di occorrenza da quelli immagazzinati in modo indipendente nella memoria del parlante. Facendo questa distinzione, tengo conto anche dello sviluppo dei significati di ὑπέρ nel greco postomerico, e dell'interazione tra preposizione e caso morfologico. Organizzo poi i significati indipendenti in una rete semantica, collegandoli direttamente o indirettamente al significato originario di tipo spaziale. Infine, mostro in quali modi dal significato spaziale di base si sviluppano gli altri significati, spaziali o astratti

Explaining the distribution of implicit means of misrepresentation:A case study on Italian immigration discourse

This study analyzes Fillmore's frames in a large corpus of Italian news headlines concerning migrations, dating from 2013 to 2021 and taken from newspapers of diverse ideological stances. Our goal is to assess whether, how, and why migrants' representation varies over time and across ideological stances. Our approach combines corpus-assisted critical discourse analysis with cognitive linguistics. We present a new methodology that exploits SOCIOFILLMORE, a tool integrating a novel Natural Language Processing model for automatic frame annotation into a web-based user interface for exploring frame-annotated corpora. In our corpus, the frequency distribution of frames varies over time according to detectable contextual factors. Across political stances, instead, the most frequent frames remain more constant: both right-winged and left-winged news providers contribute to reifying migrants into non-agentive entities. Further, in religious (Christian) press migrants are given a more humanizing depiction, but they still often appear in non-agentive roles. The distributions of frames can be explained by the fact that the latter act as indirect, routinized, and implicit means of (mis)representation. We suggest that framing entails inferential operations that take place unconsciously and can therefore escape the cognitive screening not only of those who receive discourse, but also of those who (re)produce it.</p

Druggable monogenic immune defects hidden in diverse medical specialties: Focus on overlap syndromes

In the last two decades two new paradigms changed our way of perceiving primary immunodeficiencies: An increasing number of immune defects are more associated with inflammatory or autoimmune features rather than with infections. Some primary immune defects are due to hyperactive pathways that can be targeted by specific inhibitors, providing innovative precision treatments that can change the natural history of diseases. In this article we review some of these "druggable" inborn errors of immunity and describe how they can be suspected and diagnosed in diverse pediatric and adult medicine specialties. Since the availability of precision treatments can dramatically impact the course of these diseases, preventing the development of organ damage, it is crucial to widen the awareness of these conditions and to provide practical hints for a prompt detection and cure

SocioFillmore:A Tool for Discovering Perspectives

SOCIOFILLMORE is a multilingual tool which helps to bring to the fore the focus or the perspective that a text expresses in depicting an event. Our tool, whose rationale we also support through a large collection of human judgements, is theoretically grounded on frame semantics and cognitive linguistics, and implemented using the LOME frame semantic parser. We describe SOCIOFILLMORE’s development and functionalities, show how non-NLP researchers can easily interact with the tool, and present some example case studies which are already incorporated in the system, together with the kind of analysis that can be visualised
