Latinate Loan-Cognate Word Pairs in English and Italian
The aim of this paper is to show the existence of regularities in word meaning variation and change between Latinate borrowings in present-day English and their cognates in Italian, such as gross/grosso, lecture/lettura and rumour/rumore. Starting from an original and shared meaning core, the semantics of these etymologically related words has evolved in different directions in the two languages, often producing what are commonly known as ‘false …
The Challenges of Creating a Bilingual (English-Italian) E-Dictionary of Sports and Games Terminology
The aim of this paper is twofold. It firstly intends to provide an overview of the existing bilingual English-Italian dictionaries of sports and games terminology, in order to illustrate their main features and consider how this area of ESP (English for Special Purposes) lexicography may be improved. In the second part, a hypothetical e-dictionary entry is presented, taking as an example the lemma padel, indicating a new discipline that has becom…
New Developments in English for Special Purposes (ESP) Lexicology and Lexicography
The fact that languages are living organisms that evolve and vary as a result of different factors, including societal vicissitudes, cultural influences, technological advancements, migration and intercultural communication, among others, requires a continued effort to identify, characterize and represent the new lexical forms and meanings that emerge in various contexts and domains. Lexicologists and lexicographers thus need to always take on ne…
Lexical-Semantic Representations at the Time of the Coronavirus Pandemic
This paper examines some cases of lexical adaptation and innovation in present-day English resulting from changed communicative needs brought about by the current coronavirus pandemic. The data analysed consists of 15 lexical items retrieved in the NOW Corpus, a web-based collection of newspapers and magazines freely accessible online. The study shows that certain already existing words and expressions tend to be used more frequently in coronavir…
English vis-à-vis Italian Aspectual Verb Constructions
This paper provides an initial analysis of continuative aspectualizers from a contrastive English-Italian perspective. The aim is to investigate the areas of overlap and contrast in terms of the lexico-syntactic behaviour and semantic scope of the main continuative verbs in the two languages, i.e., keep, continue, proceed, resume vs. (man)tenere, continuare, procedere, riprendere. The focus will also be on the identification of the cognitive fact…
Medical English teaching and beyond
Author/s Daniele FranceschiUniversity of Pisa, Italy ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to show how Medical English teaching materials may be improved by introducing multimodal tasks encouraging a holistic approach to communication. Medical English for Specific Purposes textbooks and coursebooks typically focus on how to speak effectively, but they fail to prepare doctors to speak and behave affectively, although it has been demonstrated that how …
