| Summary: |
Some time ago (sorry for this delay) I posted a question regarding acceptability and productivity of spontaneous verb formations in -acchiare, -icchiare or -ucchiare, such as "veducchiare" (from "vedere"). I would like to thank once again all those who responded to my question: K. Pizzi Annalisa Bracciotti annalisa.bracciotti@dllgr.uniud.it Hans Grote hans.grote@uni-stuttgart.de Anna Chiarenza achiaren@ocean.st.usm.edu I would llike to give my special thanks to Antonella Gramone itsaj@snow.csv.warwick.ac.uk and Philip Grew pgrew@compuserve.com who gave me fantastic material. Here are those nonce formations not mentioned in the major Italian dictionaries and coined or "heard" by the people who answered me. sguarducchiare (guardare distrattamente un film in TV) sleccacchiare (leccare, detto dei gatti) riposucchiare (to rest a little bit, i.e. for a short while) guidacchiare (to drive an automobile (only) occasionally or without particular skill) lavicchiare (to wash (one's hands) a little bit) arrangicchiare (to just barely get by or to eke out a paltry existence) pieguzzare (to fold (carta origami) minutely) Thank you all Elmar Dr. Elmar Schafroth c/o Romanische Sprachwissenschaft Universitaet Augsburg Universitaetsstr. 10 D-86135 AUGSBURG Tel.: (0821) 598-5738 Fax.: (0821) 598-5501 |
