dc.description.abstract |
In this work, we provide a linguistic analysis of Italian prepositions with the aid of three neuro-linguistic experiments. The first part of the dissertation is devoted to the most important linguistic theories dealing with the following topics: (i) the formation of articulated prepositions; (ii) the syntax of complex prepositions; (iii) the linguistic nature of prepositional compounds. In the second part, instead, three experiments are presented every one assessing one of the fields we have mentioned above. Articulated prepositions have been analyzed through two production tasks performed by 8 aphasic patients. Complex prepositions and prepositional compounds, instead, have been the subjects of two case studies involving two agrammatic patients. The results have allowed us to single out, among the various proposals presented in the theoretical chapters, the linguistic model which better characterizes how Italian prepositions are processed. |

dc.description.abstract |
In questo lavoro offriamo un’analisi linguistica delle preposizioni italiane attraverso tre esperimenti neuro-linguistici. In una prima parte teorica vengono presentate le più importanti teorie linguistiche che si sono occupate di studiare: la formazione delle preposizioni articolate; la struttura sintattica delle preposizioni complesse; la natura dei composti preposizionali. La seconda parte, invece, è dedicata a tre esperimenti nei quali sono stati coinvolti alcuni pazienti afasici. Ogni esperimento riguarda uno degli argomenti teorici sopra menzionati. Le preposizioni articolate sono state analizzate attraverso due compiti di produzione somministrati ad un gruppo di 8 pazienti. Le preposizioni complesse ed i composti preposizionali, invece, sono stati oggetto di due casi di studio che hanno coinvolto due pazienti colpiti da agrammatismo. Dai risultati di questi tre studi sono state ricavate delle conclusioni teoriche che confermano alcune delle ipotesi presentate in precedenza. |
