Abstract Complex adverbials built with the pattern ‘Preposition + Adjective (PA)’ such as Portuguese em especial ‘especially’ or Romanian de sigur ‘for sure’ display a remarkable frequency and pan-Romance consistency. Nevertheless, this pattern has been largely neglected by research. The ‘Third Way’ project intends to fill this gap, arguing that PAs are a relevant third way of constructing adverbials, aside with short adverbs and adverbs in - mente . It subjects prepositional adverbials to a historico-varietal analysis in a comparative pan-Romance approach to trace their trajectory from Latin up to now. This article presents an enquiry design for field research that allows examining the adverbials’ current usage and ongoing change in substandard varieties of all major Romance languages. The results are meant to help reconstruct the diachrony of PAs in Romance, especially in view of the spoken vernacular tradition.

Astratta L’articolo delinea un profilo della formazione di parola dell’italiano a partire dai primi anni Duemila, sulla base di un repertorio di neoformazioni attestate negli ultimi due decenni. L’analisi conferma alcune tendenze già identificate da studi precedenti, tra cui la preminenza della derivazione come strategia più frequentemente adoperata dai parlanti e la significativa produttività della composizione con un elemento formativo (più frequentemente a sinistra) e una parola autonoma. D’altra parte, i dati raccolti e analizzati suggeriscono alcuni aspetti innovativi verso cui orientare la ricerca futura, tra cui la formazione e la possibile grammaticalizzazione degli elementi formativi e l’impiego di elementi non italiani nella creazione di nuove parole strutturalmente ibride.

Le jeu libertin auquel s’adonnent les protagonistes des Liaisons dangereuses se fonde sur un pari, qui est un jeu de hasard. Toute l’action du roman tourne autour de la question de savoir si le vicomte de Valmont arrive à séduire la pieuse Mme de Tourvel ou non. Par leur pari à ce sujet, Valmont aussi bien que la marquise de Merteuil se trouvent dans une situation contradictoire. En tant que libertins, leur projet commun est d’éradiquer tout hasard. En pariant, ils se livrent, au contraire, au hasard, dont ils confirment par là l’importance, voire l’incontournabilité. Le présent article vise à analyser le caractère contradictoire du projet libertin dans ce roman épistolaire célèbre, qui n’est pas seulement, comme on l’a dit, un chant de cygne de l’aristocratie à l’aube de la Révolution française, mais qui implique également une critique de l’enthousiasme pour la raison et le calcul à l’âge des Lumières.

This conversation analytic study aims to describe the actions performed by speakers of Italian and Trevigiano – a northern Italian dialect – by using the particle dai in everyday conversations. Our analyses draw on a corpus of formal and informal phone calls, where dai appears as preface and at the end of turns that initiate new courses of action, at the end of some responsive turns (or Turn-Constructional Units) and in post-expansions (that is, turns in third position). The actions embodied by these turns – requests, proposals and assessments – have in common the momentary deontic imbalance in favor of the speaker, who tells, asks or proposes to the coparticipant to do something. The particle also accompanies assessments of events to which the speaker has no direct experience (thus from an epistemically subordinate position). This study highlights the fuzziness of the boundaries between deontic and epistemic rights in everyday talk.
