Pragmatics, usages and translations of (ma) figurati (se)
View through CrossRef
This paper is aimed at exploring the pragmatic usages and English translations of a set of figurati phrasemes, such as ma figurati, figurati se, figurati se non, (no) no figurati, and (di) niente figurati. To do so, three different spoken Italian corpora are consulted, where the meanings and usages in context of the above constructions are analysed in detail. Then, the figurati phrases are searched for in Italian-English parallel corpora of film subtitles, where pragmatic meanings and possible translations are brought to the fore.
