Sommario/riassunto

This synchronic study presents a new onomasiological, frame-theoretical model for the description, classification and theoretical analysis of the cross-linguistic content category aspectuality. It deals specifically with those pieces of information, which, in their interplay, constitute the aspectual value of states of affairs. The focus is on Romance Languages, although the model can be applied just as well to other languages, in that it is underpinned by a principle grounded in a fundamental cognitive ability: the delimitation principle. Unlike traditional approaches, which generally have a semasiological



orientation and strictly adhere to a semantic differentiation between grammatical aspect and lexical aspect (Aktionsart), this study makes no such differentiation and understands these as merely different formal realisations of one and the same content category: aspectuality.

Sommario/riassunto

As Norberto Bobbio writes in one of the essays included in this book, Silvio Trentin was an exceptional figure of a man of study and action, who never dissociates the commitment of the scholar from that of the militant, for whom, titles of the two famous essays by Max Weber, both school and politics are together, and not separately, a profession and a vocation. Not separately, and yet not confused. Trentin perfectly knew how to give science what it is of science and to politics what is of politics.

Sommario/riassunto

Using examples and case studies from industry, academia and research literature, Randomized Clinical Trials provides a detailed overview of the key issues involved in designing, conducting, analysing and reporting randomized clinical trials.? It examines the methodology for conducting Phase III clinical trials, developing the protocols, the practice for capturing, measuring, and analysing the resulting clinical data and their subsequent reporting. Randomized clinical trials are the principal method for determining the relative efficacy and safety of alternative treatments, interventio
