Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] Between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries the theme of Wortsatz in linguistic reflection is part of the debate on the conception and definition of a sentence: the crisis of the logicorizing model of the Portorealist mold also questions the "dogma" of the conception of the sentence understood as judgment necessarily two months. Within this debate the positions regarding the theme of Wortsatz are fundamentally traceable to two different paradigms. The first position, more closely linked to formal and grammatical criteria, believes that to be such, sentences must be bimembers, that is, formed by a subject and a predicate. It therefore finds itself having to somehow account for the Wortsätze. The other tradition of thought, of a more pragmatic nature, is based on a "holistic" conception of the phrase as an essentially communicative unit. On this basis it is believed that the Wortsätze are, in any case, sentences to all effects because through them it is still possible to communicate something accomplished; therefore also to unimembri structures (such as interjections, vocatives, imperatives, nominal, adjectival or adverbial sentences) the dignity of a sentence is recognized. In our intervention we would like to propose a theory of Wortsatz that mediates between these two traditions of thought articulating the answer to this problem starting from the type of linguistic act that is performed through the sentence.
