The Place of Language. Essays in Honor of Giuliana Garzone / P. Catenaccio, C. Degano, F. Santulli. - In: LINGUE E LINGUAGGI. - ISSN 2239-0359. - 2022:52(2022 Nov), pp. 7-30. [10.1285/i22390359v52p7]
Abstract:
This special issue celebrates the outstanding career of Giuliana Garzone,
whose scientific endeavors have covered all the domains outlined in the title
of this issue, with significant forays also in the field of literature. Coming
from a background steeped in the humanities in their broadest sense, and
more specifically in literary studies, where her research interests initially
dwelled, Giuliana then concentrated mostly on discourse analysis, in its
various domains. The hallmark of her scientific endeavor is one, though: her
attention to the linguistic data, and the investigation – also of a theoretical
nature – of specific linguistic aspects, especially in the field of pragmatics.
After a decades-long collaboration with Giuliana, we firmly believe that in
Discourse analysis she found the ideal space where the different facets of her
scientific profile could truly shine and make an impact in multiple domains.
Cultural phenomena and translation, after all, are part of discourse, and in her
contributions to these fields Garzone has not only made a definitive case for
the centrality of linguistic research in discourse studies, but also left her sign
as an outstanding linguist.
In these few introductory pages, we would like to start from the notion
of discourse and draw, with large strokes, an outline of the multiple potentials
of discourse analysis and the original ways in which Garzone realized them.
We will start from her most exquisitely linguistic research, which laid the
ground for all her other research endeavors by providing a sound
methodological core, moving then on to the rich part of her production set
within the broad framework of Discourse Studies. We will then close with
translation as a cultural and discursive practice, a perspective that Garzone
has always stressed in her works, and which has enabled her to come to a
novel and fruitful classification of translation phenomena.
