Title: Avventure dell'aggettivo qualificativo derivato da nomi propri Abstract: Nelle grammatiche italiane un capitolo assai breve e generalmente dedicato agli aggettivi: ed e logico, poiche la morfologia dell' attributo e di norma assimilata a quella del sostantivo. Di conseguenza un settore assai nutrito del lessico, quello degli aggetti vi deri vati da nomi propri, man ca dei necessari chiarimenti morfologici. Perche si dice om erico e non omeriano? perche dantesco e non dantiano? perche manzoniano e non manzonico o manzonesco? un'indagine in proposito, se tacciono le grammatiche, puo essere condotta sui lessici e sui testi di storia della lingua, ed anche se limitata a sondaggi ed a parziali esplorazioni come quella avviata da noi (frutto, piu che altro, di postille marginali prese durante letture di diverso intendimento) puo consentire alcune conclusioni interessanti.

Title: L'Umorismo Abstract: E un fatto ammesso e sostenuto dalla unanimita dei filosofi e degli psichiatri antichi e moderni che l'uomo e il solo animale che ride. Cia dimostra che il riso e un fenomeno caratteristico dell'uomo, e che esso e possibile solo a un certo grado della coscienza. Ora se questa verira filosofica e scientifica vale per il riso, tanto piu dovrebbe valere per il sorriso che e un fenomeno certamente piu spirituale del riso. E l'umorismo ci fa sorridere, e non ridere. In che cosa consiste l'umorismo?

Title: Ida Reyer Pfeiffer and Malta Abstract: Of the relatively few German-speaking tourists who came to Malta in the first half of the nineteenth century and left accounts of their visits surely one of the most interesting was Ida Reyer Pfeiffer (1797-1858), a native of Vienna. As a girl she was fascinated by stories of far away places, but the opportunity for her own travel abroad was not realized until she had reached middle age. When she was twenty-three years old she married a lawyer and widower from Lemberg named Dr. Pfeiffer, and domestic cares delayed any immediate realization of her dreams to visit those remote places which held so much interest for her. Later in life, after her sons were educated and she was approaching the age of forty-five, she was finally able to set out without companions on a series of travels which had been long contemplated. To retain more accurately the recollections of her visits she carefully kept a diary, a simple and unadorned relation of facts. She herself expressed the view that her diary should not be judged as a literary work, for it was, she declared, 'a simple narration, in which I have described every circumstance as it occurred...' She commenced her journey on March 22, 1842, taking a steamer from Vienna going down the Danube. Her first major objective was the Holy Land. From there she proceeded to Egypt, and from Egypt she came by ship to Malta. She remained in Malta from mid-September until October 4 when she embarked on the Sicilian steamer Hercules for a horn ward journey. She reached Vienna in December, 1842. Here are Mrs. Pfeiffer's comments on her visit to Malta.

Title: The problem of integrating microeconomics with macroeconomics Abstract: The last few decades have registered attempts on the part of some economists to bridge the gap between microeconomics and macroeconomics. The results so far have not been encouraging. One is tempted to ask: is this because of half-hearted attempts? Or is it because the methods used might not have been the best or the most conducive to the construction of an appropriate bridge? Before answering these questions it would not be out of.place, I think, to give a brief account of the raison d' etre of macroeconomics and the importance it has acquired in a short time. We have to go back to the Physiocrats and particularly to Quesnay's Tableau Economique to discover the origins of macroeconomic analysis. For the first time we find a model of the flow of income in the economy; for the Tableau was not concerned only with the allocation of resources but also with the size of the net product. This was a truly macroeconomic model despite its limitations due to the Physiocrats' belief in the unique productivity of land and the prime importance they gave to consumption in maintaining the circular flow of income.
