Refram­ing Refor­mu­la­tion: A The­o­ret­i­cal-Exper­i­men­tal Approach: Evi­dence from the Span­ish Dis­course Mark­er „o sea“
Refor­mu­la­tion stud­ies offer a recent debate on refor­mu­la­tion and its sema­si­o­log­i­cal-ono­ma­si­o­log­i­cal treat­ment. Some researchers argue for a clear dis­tinc­tion between refor­mu­la­tion and oth­er func­tions such as con­clu­sion or cor­rec­tion; oth­ers defend the exis­tence of dif­fer­ent sub­types of refor­mu­la­tion based on such oth­er func­tions, which are expressed by the same group of dis­course mark­ers in dif­fer­ent lan­guages. Both approach­es are valid although their argu­ments and the­o­ret­i­cal basis are opposed. The book presents an Eye-Track­ing pro­pos­al to com­ple­ment this debate exper­i­men­tal­ly. Results sup­port an ono­ma­si­o­log­i­cal approach to refor­mu­la­tion since exper­i­men­tal bound­aries for each func­tion (para­phrase, refor­mu­la­tion, con­clu­sion and cor­rec­tion) have been detect­ed.

Uniden­ti­fied nar­ra­tive objects and the new Ital­ian epic
The 21st cen­tu­ry has seen a surge of pop­u­lar­i­ty in texts that cross the bor­ders between styles, gen­res and media, between real-life events and imag­ined ones, so that these texts are dif­fi­cult to cat­e­gorise or some­times to dis­tin­guish as fic­tion or non­fic­tion. They might be called ‘uniden­ti­fied nar­ra­tive objects’, a term coined by the Ital­ian writer Wu Ming 1 when dis­cussing Ital­ian lit­er­a­ture after 2000 in his Mem­o­ran­dum on the New Ital­ian Epic, whose writ­ers have a com­mon belief in the pow­er of lit­er­a­ture to effect change in soci­ety by depict­ing and re-assess­ing the past and present. Through analysing a num­ber of recent Ital­ian uniden­ti­fied nar­ra­tive objects, this study explores the poten­tial of this exper­i­men­tal approach to the nov­el form.
