The ambivalence of the Villa Falene, from 'Une si longue lettre', by Mariama Bâ Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Este artigo analisa o valor ambíguo da Villa Falène, residência de Ramatoulaye, como lugar e não-lugar no romance Une si longue lettre, da escritora senegalesa Mariama Bâ. A casa se apresenta, por um lado, como um espaço de opressão de sua proprietária e, em determinados momentos, do sexo feminino de forma geral. Por outro lado, ele foi eleito pela protagonista, por ser o recanto mais acolhedor, para o desvelo de sua alma. Selecionaremos ...
On the interaction between vowel confusions (< e > for /i/ and < o > for /u/) and lexical stress in Latin inscriptions from Rome (ca. 119 BCE - ca. 600 CE) : a preliminary study Universiteit Gent
The aim of this article is to better define how changes in the Latin vowel system evolved over time in the stressed vs. the unstressed syllables in the Latin of Rome. To this end, the cases of for /i/ and for /u/ in an epigraphic corpus of 6,599 inscriptions from this city have been analysed by comparing the number of epigraphic errors occurring under and out of stress in five different periods. Our results indicate that, until about the 4th ...
The < e >/< i > spelling variation in Latin inscriptions from Rome (250 BC-AD 300) : a preliminary (historical) sociolinguistic analysis based on the inscriptional data Universiteit Gent
This paper analyses the cases of < e > for /ĭ/ which occur in a corpus of 4,080 Latin inscriptions from Rome. All the inscriptions considered were divided into four periods (“mid-Republic”, “late Republic”, “early Empire” and “late Empire”), and in three sociolinguistically different groups (“formal”, “informal” and “diaphasically low” texts). Chapter 2 offers a qualitative study of all the e-spellings (for /ĭ/) in the corpus, in order to ...
A preliminary investigation on the / graphemic oscillation in Latin inscriptions from Rome : the relationship between vowel alternations, lexical stress and syllabic structure Universiteit Gent
This paper is aimed at supplementing the results obtained in Papini 2019. In particular, I will consider the position of the investigated /<ĕ> and /<ē> graphemic oscillations with respect to both 1) lexical stress (distinguishing between misspellings occurring in stressed and unstressed position) and 2) syllabic structure (i.e., open vs closed syllables). The aim of the present paper is to verify whether the relationship between the ...
Mariangelo Accursio and Pirro Ligorio : the possible (and interesting) genesis of CIL, VI 990* and CIL, VI 991* Universiteit Gent
This paper aims at providing a detailed analysis of two epigraphic forgeries transcribed by Pirro Ligorio under the lemma “Accursia” in his Enciclopedia del mondo antico: CIL VI 990* and CIL VI 991*. In particular, we make an attempt to identify the genuine inscriptions that might have provided Ligorio with the necessary inspiration to compose these two forgeries and to shed new light on the curious choice of the nomen ‘Accursius’, which appears ...
The graphemic oscillation in Latin epigraphy : some preliminary sociolinguistic remarks Universiteit Gent
This paper deals with some particularly interesting o-spellings attested in Latin inscriptions dating back to the late Republican age (and to the first Imperial period) and attempts to determine whether they may provide some evidence of an anticipation of the (Proto) Romance merger of the Classical Latin back-vowels /oː/ and /u/ as a close /o/. All the inscriptions have been analysed in detail by taking into account the dating, geographical ...
