| Abstract: | [Diachronic and psychosystematic study on demonstratives and special representation in Italian and Romance languages] The first objective of the article is to identify the evolution of demonstratives by comparing Italian to other Romance languages during their history – in other words, to identify and describe the origin and evolution of demonstratives in different language systems. This first step of the research has caused new questions to appear which the article would like to give an answer to by using a psychosemantic method. The result was the identification of demonstratives as a general representation of space in all the languages where such a system of demonstratives exists. This aspect has no equivalent in other systems even though it can present certain similarities in one or another Romance language. These elements lead us to the conclusion that what is negotiated behind these linguistic operations is actually the representation of the person in a given culture. |
