A group of Italian language tutors attended sessions dedicated to Italian language teaching and learning that were included in the SIS Biennial Conference in 2015. Following the conference, the group suggested that a publication of the proceedings to mark the first of these meetings would be a useful resource for all language tutors. To five of the original papers presented in Oxford, another three were added in order to include a range of ideas and experiences in one publication.
Con questo volume il progetto del Lessico Leopardiano, nato nell’ambito delle attività del Laboratorio Leopardi (Sapienza), giunge alla sua terza tappa. Come nelle precedenti pubblicazioni (2014 e 2016), in questo libro si propone al lettore l’analisi lessicale e semantica di un gruppo di parole-chiave, afferenti alle zone nevralgiche della riflessione leopardiana: l’estetica (per esempio maraviglia e sentimentale), la linguistica e la filologia (da emendazione a etimologia), la morale e l’antropologia (è il caso di divertimento e leggerezza), senza tralasciare le interferenze con il sapere scientifico (come in equilibrio e medicina). Coniugando l’esame dettagliato dei lemmi con la messa a fuoco delle più rilevanti implicazioni critico-interpretative, il volume intende dunque fornire un ulteriore strumento per l’indagine del pensiero e dell’opera di Leopardi.
