[Music]
good evening I’m not the kind of
linguist that you expect and not
I will tell you what a linguist
normally he usually says I’m not here
to celebrate the funeral together with you
the umpteenth of the Italian language
I’m not here to intone the de
profundis of the subjunctive and the past
remote also because I give you news
exclusive the subjunctive is fine
I’m not here to tell you my lady where
our fine Italian will end
vilipeso trampled and sullied by
no young people are not here to explain
how they have become ignorant indeed
when they became ignorant the
others because the ignorant are always
the others never are not here to give
confirm our prejudices and respect
to the functioning of the language in short
I’m not here to sell the three goods
that not only among fans of
language have more market
nostalgia indignation and fear
I ‘m not here to do this I’m not
here not even to do necessary things
that as a teacher I do all
the other many others do and do it
even better than me that is to explain that
what is right and what is wrong to draw up
catalogs of things not to say about mistakes
not to do
I’m not here to give bonton advice
language to illustrate symptoms
diagnosis and therapy of what is coming
considered is represented with one
illness and I am not a doctor
less a medical examiner I am here for
to celebrate linguistic disorder and with
it if not the beauty at least
the inevitability of democracy
utility and even rationality
of the error the possibility of making mistakes
it is not only the main one
guarantee of our freedom and also
and above all the main indicator
of the vitality of an idiom
it exists perhaps in ours in any
other language
something more intimately grammatical
of the error no there is no error is the
quintessence of grammar because it does not
it’s a simple violation of a rule
but it is a violation based on a hypothesis
alternative operation of the
tongue
in short, it is an infringement of the rule that
in other words, it presupposes another norm
another grammar
yet the temptation of trenitalia le
rules to put it to the sedan of
feel better than others for the
just done you had maybe
a better education is so strong
strong enough to make us forget a series of
a series of elements that the first
element is this and that is that all
mistakes have a motive for the heart
heart written with care I do not know if if
if you have ever had an experience of the
kind of maybe there’s one in the kitchen
tile slightly raised you there
go but regularly stumble over
and you know it’s there
tile slightly raised
compared to the treading floor from
kitchen, however, despite this we end up
always to stumble because there
stumble because of you
sure but maybe also because of the
tiler who in his time has
placed has placed the tile badly
we translate this discourse to the language of
who is the true king
whose fault is the fault of is the fault of
whoever commits it certainly
in the long run it is his fault, but it is also his fault
the language’s fault if you think about it
here we have an image you notice that the
power point of the linguists
tends to be a little more
ugly linguists are more credible
how much worse are their power points
then you are able to make yourself more
credible here we have an image of the
of our former premier and current
secretary of the democratic party
and it was he who wrote these words
he was one of his collaborators the most
foiled who wrote to the word
scientist wrote it without her or error
we will see many of us
yet yet it is a mistake that everyone all
how many we have committed for
describe science or consciousness without her
as a child and because that i do not
it is utterly useless
in the system of our language e
we do not need it there
spelling the spelling of the language e
against intuitive and purple itself the
rule that the Italian language has been given
has codified therefore to be wrong
certainly it is that form and scientist
written without her but being wrong
also the language
think about writing breakfast with the
double z instead of a single z
or say the eggs do not get eggs
or it seems to me if instead it seemed to me or
those who say themselves I believe of
say it when maybe I’m a bit
disregard a miss instead of a brand
by analogy with adipe avido arido donkey
soul a breath acino to acid that is
most words say 90
percent of the words that begin
with has composed of three syllables in
Italian are they are slippery to brand is
the only exception, in short, us
we make mistakes because the
language itself leads us to commit them
because the language itself
every now and then you raise the tile
ethics makes the mistakes of today stumble
it may not be tomorrow anymore
I want our destinies to be lost
in the infinity you I of course here either
I’ll show you a let’s say a summary one
synthesis of florilegi much wider than
mistakes you can find
doing any online research
in what sense today’s error could
it may not be tomorrow anymore
see here another example I do not have
nothing personal naturally against
against our former premier and not even
with against his faithful collaborator
which one writes what is written
naturally without without the apostrophe
naturally up to a certain point
of course it is not
the right adverb because because in
reality
of course we are told to write it down
with the apostrophe which by analogy with
the series of questions we say of
questioning particles followed by dal
verb to be
where with the apostrophe it ‘s like when
etc
the only exception is what then is certain
we can remember someone we know
that effectively such as a particle
that has something of an autonomous life
in which case, etc.
but there’s nothing for us to do
which is part of that series there and me
I myself realize it when I think so
are there are some that I write
thoughtful I was made to write
that apostrofo is not made of
write it only to me but to one
majority I would say wide enough of the
ours of our fellow citizens if it is true
that if you go to google the forms
which is written with the apostrophe and which
it is written without you will find more results
or less equivalent indeed as they
time passes and thanks to the fact that then
google is a huge blender that
keep everything inside you will discover that man
hand which is written with the apostrophe sta
taking more and more foot
means that correct no in this
moment it probably is not it
it will still be
again for the next ten fifteen
twenty years will come one day but this is it
a prediction that I then make
possibly test the between 10 15 20
years
there will come a day when you probably will
grammars ourselves and ours
our habits ours
sensitivity will have to surrender e
will have to take note that which
it is written with the apostrophe it has become
just like maybe a little with the accent
maybe but this has already happened
rather than rather than script with
value with rather disjunctive value
that with the meaning of or that one
of the horrors one that the linguists
to which linguists have dedicated even
even books have titled gods
books rather than this
it was enough to change it
destiny and to make this form
regretted vituperated both disappeared
in reality he lives and is increasingly healthier
strong and unstoppable or week
next week without without
the article is bad we all have the
right to consider certain bad
forms and to take in the distance myself
I find and make from my point of view
staff week next week
last without without the article though
fate
the story star goes into a certain one
direction and we can also do the
barricades but most of the time not
we manage to stop the error that well
you’re correcting something else that often
we forget it may not be the
more serious
we in Italy there is still an injury
positive towards spelling
the spelling is considered the thing
more beautiful than the language
in fact, the spelling is better or better
misspellings are bad if I
I see a spelling mistake and how to see
a person around with a stain of
sauce on the shirt with a sock
unpaired and yet spelling
yes for charity it’s ugly but
tends to not affect the
communication between people
the spelling mistake does not affect the
communication between people
if I write because with the acute accent
with the grave accent or I write
provinces without or with the self as well
scientist that one without a live person understands
what I mean, you understand what
I want to write very often instead
most important errors are of the
mistakes that are even harder to
classify and much more difficult to
correct and those that do damage
the convocation, however, the spelling no
the spelling is considered as one
sort of of say of something sacred in the
in our language in all languages e
the spelling is a bit like violating the
constitution how to commit a sin
mortal for charity is a sin
and it is a pity that it must be sanctioned
etcetera but here maybe you give it gives a
a little more important than
that which are its actuals
merit well the languages are born and die
with accidentals if if the languages
they would not change if they did not commit themselves
mistakes this is a seems a triviality
but it is not
we will still talk about it in Latin, even a work
while we will speak again the proto
Indo-European that is that mythical language
from which they would all derive
Neolatine languages like ours
here is a document that maybe someone
of you know and a document of a
dramatic dramatic of the IV century after
Christ who was called Probe who had
drawn up a series of a list of words
as we were saying they were written and
as they should have been written
there is the former there is not the former throw a spear
auris not die face if it does
etc. well etc. we see in
this series of words speculum not
speculum that in the censored versions
we already see the traces of an outcome
which then the outcome of the Italian language
the speculum become in the mirror the
veto luz which then became bay cruz
he has become our old man, and so on
etcetera, in other words, he had already
identified a number of errors and li them
he pointed out that he was censored or point
nor did he dream of elimination except for later
obviously having to make it too
he is faced with a phenomenon that he then has
brought as a result to the Italian language
some forms that we consider the installments
I’m not candy I do not want any more
alberto lupo and mine
no it is a form that is called
dislocation on the left that thing for
which I anticipate an element of
communication then I resume it shortly thereafter
with a pronoun is the same thing to say
I like it or I read the book
how many times have we heard that
those things do not make themselves beautiful you do not
they do but we do we all do it
let’s all do when we talk
and also when we write and if it is
we do because somehow we are
saying something different than
I simply do not want any more candy
we are saying something different and we are
adding also information and lo
same speech that applies to Rome
sentence start does not start a sentence with
a conjunction can not be started one
sentence as I comma etc. this does not
I know if you recognize the image of one
beautiful at night also called jasmine
night as the jasmine begins
night and will know in the first round joined
a poem begins and it is not only
poetic license think
think, for example, of a phrase from
this one of this kind
marco a shy and boring boy or
Marco is a shy guy point is boring
they mean the same thing no not
they mean the same thing
in the second case, Marco is a boy more
boring that shy in the first case more or
minus the two the two defects are
equivalent to the second case instead of the
boredom weighs much more too
make mistakes even you too
you too, we too are fantozzi and
filini
we continually make mistakes
let’s say reboans instead of bombastic
instead say bonante let’s say decade
instead of decades rather than instead
di or Marco and Andrea instead of
macro andrea and if we do not make mistakes
at least we make some kind of mistakes
this type that of daniela santanchè
who writes if the newspaper succeeded in
to do with h what we are not
succeeded in twenty years
now we can think of all the evil
possible daniela santanchè me a little
I think
but I do not think it’s his fault I think
it’s the fault of his concealer a
sometimes mistakes are not mistakes
our fault
they are also the fault of the technology that
we have invented to spare them
above all we remember this we remember
that the error is systematic while it is
mistake is accidental if the error
systematic if something that precisely
falls into a dynamic of a compulsion
to repeat and why
evidently it is the language itself a
facilitate it and therefore to conclude
this intervention
what I invite to do and what if
we just have to take it with
someone if we really must criticize
the mistakes well let’s do it with the
people who for the role they occupy
for the work they do have some
particular responsibilities towards
of the language I think of teachers I think of
TV personalities to politicians
people who occupy key positions
in the culture we leave instead
hindrance children leave in peace
foreigners leave all those in peace
so the inaccessibility of the word in
some way constitutes one
inaccessibility to the world here to be furious
against them raging with theirs
mistakes
it is an act from my point of view
cowardice and it is something that I invite you to
do not thank you
