    26. La grammatica universale nella storia
    2025/04/16
    In questa puntata esploriamo il concetto di grammatica universale, partendo dalla celebre formulazione di Noam Chomsky negli anni ’50, per poi intraprendere una panoramica storica che ne rivela radici ben più antiche.
    L’idea centrale è che esista una struttura innata e universale nella mente umana che rende possibile l’acquisizione del linguaggio, nonostante le evidenti differenze tra le lingue del mondo. Un concetto spesso attribuito esclusivamente a Chomsky, ma che in realtà affiora in diverse epoche e culture. Scopriremo insieme come molte intuizioni moderne fossero già presenti, in forme embrionali, nel pensiero di filosofi, grammatici e teologi del passato, e quanto la ricerca di una grammatica universale abbia attraversato e influenzato l’intera storia del pensiero occidentale.

    25. Gesti: output visivo nella nostra cognizione?
    2025/03/16
    In questa puntata esploriamo il ruolo dei gesti nella comunicazione umana, approfondendo il campo dei gesture studies. Studi scientifici hanno infatti dimostrato che gesti e linguaggio verbale sono strettamente collegati, rappresentando due espressioni dello stesso processo cognitivo. Questo ha portato alcuni ricercatori a ipotizzare un’origine gestuale del linguaggio, suggerendo che la facoltà del linguaggio possa essersi evoluta proprio a partire dai gesti!Grafiche: Gianluca La Bruna La sigla è stata prodotta da White Hot e fornita da https://freebeats.ioFonti:Arbib M.A. (2005).

    24. Suoni linguistici e suoni musicali: stessa cosa o mondi diversi?
    2025/02/16
    La musica e il linguaggio sono due elementi fondamentali dell’esperienza umana, ma quanto hanno davvero in comune? In questa puntata esploriamo il rapporto tra percezione linguistica e musicale, concentrandoci sugli aspetti fonetici e sulle strutture cognitive che li governano.

    23. Hate speech: il discorso d'odio e le sue forme implicite - intervista con Mattia Retta dell'Università di Helsinki
    2025/01/16
    In questo episodio esploriamo il complesso tema dell'hate speech: ne delimiteremo il concetto, vedremo come questo si manifesta e approfondiremo le sue forme implicite, spesso difficili da riconoscere. A offrirci questa riflessione è Mattia Retta, dottorando in linguistica presso l'Università di Helsinki, che condividerà i punti più importanti e interessanti delle sue ricerche accademiche e la sua conoscenza approfondita della materia, dandoci l’occasione per comprendere meglio i meccanismi del linguaggio d'odio e il suo impatto nella società contemporanea.

    21. Metafore e mente incarnata
    2024/11/16
    In questa puntata, esploriamo come le metafore non siano solo un elemento della lingua letteraria, ma abbiano un ruolo fondamentale nella nostra comprensione del mondo. A partire dal libro Metaphors We Live By di G. Lakoff e M. Johnson, analizziamo il potere delle metafore e come la linguistica cognitiva consideri il linguaggio parte dei processi mentali e corporei. Grazie agli esempi di metafore quotidiane, gli autori mostrano come la mente usi metafore concettuali per dare senso a concetti complessi, rivelando il legame profondo tra linguaggio ed esperienza fisica.

    20. Che cos'è davvero la balbuzie?
    2024/10/16
    Nella puntata di oggi esploriamo la balbuzie dal punto di vista linguistico, andando oltre la definizione comune di 'disturbo della pronuncia', per capire se riguarda solo la difficoltà di pronunciare suoni o se nasconde qualcosa di più complesso.
    Analizzeremo cause, manifestazioni e impatto emotivo, riflettendo su come le ricerche attuali stiano rivelando aspetti nuovi e sorprendenti, anche nelle lingue dei segni, e sulle condizioni in cui la balbuzie può ridursi o scomparire.

    19. E se arrivassero gli alieni? Di esolingue e astrolinguistica
    2024/09/16
    In questa puntata parliamo di astrolinguistica, anche nota come esolinguistica o xenolinguistica, ovvero la branca della linguistica dedicata allo studio di lingue ipotetiche non umane, o esolingue, cioè lingue che potrebbero essere parlate dagli alieni.
    Vediamo alcune delle modalità possibili di comunicazione aliena, e esploriamo la struttura delle lingue umane, chiedendoci cosa potrebbe essere universale nelle lingue in generale e se ciò potrebbe applicarsi a lingue aliene, e cosa questo implica per la nostra comprensione del linguaggio e della comunicazione.
