Abstract:Throughout the Essais, Montaigne dwells on the mechanics of communication, considering the role of intention and inference in interpretation. His cognitively inflected approach to communication resonates with the account of utterance interpretation offered by relevance theory in the field of pragmatics. Relevance theory elucidates patterns across Montaigne’s discussions of apparently disparate communicative domains in the Essais. This article demonstrates the point by examining his portrayals of exchanges in diplomacy and jurisprudence, and the account he offers of his own authorial communication, with reference to underspecification, relevance theory’s notion that utterances provide only sparse evidence of the speaker’s intended meaning.

艺术性,比如她的声音和管弦乐演奏。即使是像德米格尔第二章那样具有启发性和严谨的一章——他称之为metacanción(元曲)的类型学——也只关注通过歌词实现这一目标的各种方式——关于歌曲创作的歌曲,互文参考——而没有讨论如何通过其他方式实现这一目标。音乐表演的问题是我们这些从事语言学科工作的人应该接受的一个问题,以便更全面地理解歌曲,理想情况下,与那些从其他学科角度研究流行音乐的人合作,最明显的是音乐研究和音乐学。例如,可以使用这种方法来挑战本卷关于canción de autor及其特色文学质量的基础,以便使其一些论点细微差别。除了canción de autor之外,还有很多其他类型的元爱情歌曲。我很快就想到了拉特的《一百万首情歌》,还有我的罪恶感:查斯和戴夫的《如果我能写一首情歌》。是抒情和音乐分析的有力结合,在书中San jossire Lera对Lorca的“Pequeño vals vien”和Leonard Cohen的改编“Take is Waltz”进行了详尽的比较,表现出了出色的效果。通过考虑Lorca的诗句和Cohen的旋律的节奏和节奏等特征,以及后者的声音质量和通用参考,San joss Lera探索了书中提到的文学和音乐的含义。主要是由于这一章,诺加利斯和圣何塞·莱拉的书是朝着正确的方向迈出的一步。

dexes), each encounter envisaged the interpretation of a cluster of cantos, bringing the discussion outside the conventional boundaries of a canto-by-canto reading. In looking at the ‘duets’ gathered in the first two volumes, the reader will appreciate the greater breadth granted to scholars navigating Dante’s Inferno. is is particularly evident not only in the case of cantos that present a strong continuity, for instance Inferno and (read by Catherine M. Keen), or Inferno and (read by Ambrogio Camozzi Pistoja), but also when approaching cantos that apparently look more isolated, such as Inferno and (read by Franziska Meier). In its own way, each lectura offers key reflections on both established and recent critical approaches, discusses and sometimes offers a new perspective on hermeneutical cruces, while also setting new research trajectories. For instance, in her reading of Inferno Terzoli cautiously suggests reading ll. – and – as uttered not by Francesca but by Paolo, further developing a view that Guglielmo Gorni supported in and opposing the mainstream interpretation that considers Francesca the only narrative voice of one of the most famous episodes of Western literature (G. Giorni, ‘Francesca e Paolo: la voce di lui’, Intersezioni, (), –). Another important element of Voci sull’‘Inferno’ is the presence of opening chapters that contextualize the Inferno within Dante’s biography and other works, thus providing a broader view on the place it holds within his intellectual and poetic journey. While the three essays opening the first volume (by Lino Pertile, Paolo Pellegrini, and Michelangelo Zaccarello respectively) concern the Inferno’s reception, popularity, composition, and material transmission, those in the second volume discuss its relation with Vita nuova, Convivio, and De vulgari eloquentia by examining central topics in Dante’s œuvre and scholarship, namely his experience and poetry of love (Donato Pirovano), the relation between knowledge, faith, grace, and salvation (Paola Nasti), as well as the nexus between his cartographic impetus, his linguistic and political concerns, and his status of exile (eodore J. Cachey, Jr). By providing the reader with a prolific and comprehensive view on the first cantica of the Commedia, Voci sull’‘Inferno’ di Dante is a remarkable, polyphonic instrument for study, research, and teaching. For this reason, among the countless initiatives that marked the th anniversary of Dante’s death, this collection will certainly survive as a rich contribution to Dante Studies.
索引),每次相遇都设想了对一组章节的解释,使讨论超出了逐个章节阅读的传统边界。在看“二重奏”聚集在前两卷,读者将欣赏更大的广度授予学者导航但丁的地狱。是特别明显的,不仅在表现出强烈连续性的章节中,例如地狱和(Catherine M.

Giorni弗朗西斯卡e保罗:la低地di囡”,Intersezioni,(),——)。《地狱》的另一个重要元素是开篇章节的存在,这些章节将地狱置于但丁的传记和其他作品中,从而提供了一个更广阔的视角,来看待但丁在智力和诗歌旅程中所处的位置。第一卷开头的三篇文章(分别由利诺·珀蒂尔、保罗·佩莱格里尼和米开朗基罗·扎卡雷洛撰写)关注《地狱》的接受、流行、构成和材料传播,第二卷中的文章通过考察但丁œuvre和学术的中心主题,即他的经历和爱情诗歌(多纳托·皮罗瓦诺)、知识、信仰、恩典、和救赎(保拉·纳斯蒂),以及他的制图动力、他的语言和政治关注以及他的流亡状态之间的联系(小伊奥多尔·j·卡希)。通过为读者提供一个丰富而全面的关于《喜剧》第一首cantica的观点,Voci sull“Inferno”di Dante是一个了不起的复调乐器,用于学习,研究和教学。因此,在众多纪念但丁逝世一百周年的活动中,这本文集无疑将作为对但丁研究的丰富贡献而保存下来。
