American rhapsodies revisited: figures de l'altérité et voix mêlées dans Music through the Floor (2005) d'Eric Puchner by Nathalie Vincent-Arnaud

“…As suggested by the title itself, music stands as the overriding metaphor for the conflicting identities, peculiarities and human relationships staged by the short stories in many different ways, just as music actually performed is a major element through which various voices can be heard. In keeping with some famous works of art–mainly musical or cinematographic–aimed at characterizing the U.S.A. as a whole, Puchner's writing gives birth to a rhapsodic form in which, even though they do blend sometimes in an elusive way, each voice is that of a soloist performing on his own in a "community of loners".…”

The syllabification of /sw/ in Italian and the phonological status of /w/ by Piero Cossu

“…Previous studies have reported a dual status of /w/ in Italian, consonantal in loanwords versus vocalic in native lexemes, apparently dependent on the graphemic form of /w/, i.e. ⟨w⟩ and ⟨u⟩. The /s/-voicing pattern before the glide was used as a diagnostic to determine the glide’s status: a consonantal glide should trigger /s/-voicing, like any other voiced consonant in Italian. …”
