Latino: forme e circolazione nella pars Orientis dell’Impero (Federica Web Learning)

Languages & Literature

Se per l’Occidente mancano testimonianze che non siano quelle indirette di trattazioni specifiche come l’Institutio oratoria di Quintiliano, l’Oriente ha restituito una serie di testimoni diretti delle forme dell’insegnamento del latino,tra I a.C. e VI d.C.: favorita fondamentalmente dall’occupazione militare e dai bisogni dell’amministrazione per tutta la prima età imperiale, nelle province eccentriche dell’Impero, la circolazione del latino venne ulteriormente incentivata da una politica che lo identificava con la lingua dell’amministrazione (e del diritto) a partire dal III secolo. Continuo, infatti, è il contatto dei latinofoni con allofoni che, spesso, si misero alla prova con l’apprendimento della lingua di Roma.

De la berceuse chantée au bébé jusqu’au discours enflammé du politicien et ses intonations, du chanteur sous la douche au pianiste virtuose, le langage et la musique font partie de notre vie sociale, intellectuelle et affective tout au long de notre vie. Comment ces informations sont-elles traitées par le cerveau ? Comment est-on capable de déduire l’état émotionnel d’autrui à partir de la mélodie de sa voix, sa prosodie ? Comment la voix est-elle modifiée pendant un épisode émotionnel, quels sont les mécanismes cérébraux à l’œuvre ? Est-ce que l’apprentissage de la musique modifie la structure du cerveau ?
