Summary
IT: La tesi presenta un’analisi del modo in cui il contenuto lessicale viene modificato nel processo di sostituzione con un termine politicamente corretto. Dopo una rassegna dei principali modelli teorici dell’analisi lessicale, lo studio procede alla definizione corpus-based del profilo semantico di tre concetti campione (old, poor, short) derivato da un’osservazione combinata dei Frame in cui vengono registrati su FrameNet, e prosegue con un confronto con le definizioni disponibili sull’Oxford English Dictionary, e con le informazioni estrapolabili dal British National Corpus al fine di ottenere una migliore comprensione del contenuto denotativo e connotativo del concetto e delle modificazioni subite a causa delle sostituzioni politicamente corrette. In particolare sono analizzate le sostituzioni dei tre termini campione impiegate da Garner nel suo libro Politically Correct Bedtime Stories (1994).
ENG: The thesis presents an analysis of the ways in which lexical content is modified in the substitution process with a politically-correct term. After an overview of the main theoretical models of lexical analysis, the dissertation provides a corpus-based definition of the semantic profile of three sample concepts (old, poor, short). Data will be derived through a combined scrutiny of FrameNet, the Oxford English Dictionary, and the British National Corpus, so as to allow for the observation of the denotative and connotative content of the concept. Subsequently, the way in which the derived lexical profile is modified by the substitutions is going to be observed. Specifically, the analysed lexical substitutions have been derived from the work of Garner, Politically Correct Bedtime Stories (1994).
