The analysis highlights the sophisticated syntactic and semantic construction of the poem, as well as its lexical and formulaic debts to former authors and lyrics (especially Parini), and fully justifies the high consideration of the poem (and of its author) in the works of C.E. Gadda, and the recurrent quotations and complex elaborations of some central lines.

Forcellini. The second half of the Settecento shows an interesting ongoing change in the social and 'gastronomic' status of the polenta, witnessed for instance in the successful scherzo ditirambico (1st ed. 1791) of the Venetian doctor and amateur poet Lodovico Pastò (1744-1806), which is here at some length presented and analysed. The last section reviews and discusses several other works, both technical (scientific and popular) and literary of the rich production about maize and polenta between eighteenth and nineteenth century.

I capp. VIII e IX, introdotti ex novo assieme a VII e X in questa edizione, sono, come non e inutile rilevare, i capitoli ‘del Pestalozzi’, i capitoli cioe del carabiniere (brigadiere, o vicebrigadiere) motociclista piemontese o piu precisamente ossolano Guerrino Pestalozzi che prende qui il posto e il ruolo dell’investigatore principale, relegando sullo sfondo il commissario Ingravallo. E il frammento di una ‘telemachia’ del Pestalozzi, insomma, che qui si analizza: fortemente unitario anche nel tempo e dislocata spazialmente fuori Roma, nella ‘campagna’ e (in parte) sui Co...

The conclusion focuses the neutralizing effect of lyric 'pathetic' contexts on Gadda's resentment against the robinia.

Entrepreneurship is helping the growth of economies by creating additional jobs, wealth, and reducing the incidence of abject poverty. Developed countries ascribe their achievements to technological development, scientific breakthrough , improved communication and information technology, and competitive advantage gained through their entrepreneurial competencies and adventures. The objective of this paper is to examine the significance of entrepreneurial skills and their influence on entrepreneurial career option. Entrepreneurial competencies seek to create awareness among students about entrepreneurship as the appropriate career option to engage after graduation, as well as impart the needed social skills and knowledge of the use of insights and intuitions to identify and exploit opportunities to start a business. A quantitative approach was used involving a total of 505 questionnaires distributed to polytechnic students in Nigeria. A total of 425 questionnaires were completed and returned with a response rate of 84.2 percent. Data were analysed using SmartPLS 3; results indicate a significant positive influence of know-who and know-when competencies on entrepreneurial career option. The study was consistent with earlier studies on the relationship between entrepreneurial competencies and entrepreneurial career option among students. The findings of the study will be of immense benefit to the government, education regulatory agencies, higher education institutions, and the general public. Further, the study will serve as a framework for future reference and assist in formulating future policies on entrepreneurship in Nigeria.

The authors propose as first step a distinction between two classes of its manifestations: that is the specification in praesentia and in absentia, and consequently between two semantic types of specification: intensional and extensional. The realization of the first of them is possible only in praesentia. On the basis of the analysis of the specification markers in Russian and Italian two types of extensional specification can furthermore be distinguished: a partial and an exhaustive specification, and within the first – four subtypes: i) choice of a relevant element, ii) differential choice, iii) exemplification and iv) specific case or element. Within the intensional specification, two subtypes are here recognized: i) “concretizing” precision and ii) precision stricto sensu. The analysis carried out allows thus the authors to propose a fully-fledged classification of the relation of specification, and to ascribe it, together with the (symmetric) relation of generalization, to the group of mereological discourse relations.
Keywords: Italian, logical-semantic relations, Russian, semantics, specification.

Se fondant sur les données de l'italien et du russe, les auteurs se penchent sur cette problématique du point de vue de la linguistique textuelle. Ils font d'abord la distinction entre généralisation en tant que propriété intrinsèque de certaines propositions, attitude entre généralisation sommative, inductive et 'de principe'. Sont ensuite analysées les fonctions textuelles de la généralisation et sa relation aux mouvements textuels voisins.
