Abstract

This work aims at investigating the way in which, both in spoken and written language, human beings go back to what they have just said or written. This is the phenomenon of correctio or editing, so that we correct what we say or write, we substitute one form with another, we operate transformations, paraphrases etc. appealing to our metalinguistic skills of reflection /control. In this study we investigated in detail the way in which such activities of correctio or editing occur in an exemplary text in Italian literature and culture, i.e. the Zibaldone of Giacomo Leopardi. In this text the author – in his writing “a penna corrente” and applying the principle of liaison des idées – goes back to what he has already written to explain it better, to rework its content, to modify it, to amend it and so on. In this regard, we have selected the most used connectives that, in Italian, introduce these “revisions”, i.e. glosses of various types Leopardi uses to explain, reword, exemplify etc. what he has previously said.
