| Abstract: |
The purpose of this paper is to describe and in some ways to justify the very frequent use of the conjunction «e» at the beginning of italian newspaper headlines. Our observations are based on the analysis of four widely known contemporary Italian newspapers (using a corpus composed of 30 issues for each newspaper). An attempt is made to sketch a typology of the functions of this conjunction. The «e» can operate as a relational connector. The interpretation of its function depends on the analysis of cotext (in this case the established link is «endophotic») or of extralinguistic context (in this case the link is «exophoric»). On the other hand, the «e» can emphasize a particular element in the syntactic structure of the headline. Our study is oriented towards a didactic application in intermediate and advanced Italian language lessons. For this reason, in the final section of our paper we propose some examples of exercises. |
