The main objective of the paper is not to present a full syntactic or semantic account of this construction, but rather to compare it with the Italian gerund. Although the Hindi 'conjunctive participle' is thought to be similar to the Italian gerund, it is not always possible to translate the Hindi 'conjunctive participle' using it. Furthermore, whereas in Italian the gerund can be used both at predicate level or at the level of phrase, in Hindi it is almost always used at the level of predicate. This paper is an attempt to establish similarities as well as differences between these constrictions in two languages. 2004-12-31T23:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10278/156 Title: Nuova interpretazione della 'Bhakti' letteraria nel pensiero di V.N. Miśra Author⁄s: Marchetto, Monia Abstract: Professor Paṇḑit Vidyā Nivās Miśra is a distinguished scholar in the cultural panorama of contemporary India. Well renowned for his deep knowledge of Sanskrit language and ancient Indian literature, he is numbered among the writers too for his valuable essays composed in modern Hindī language. We have translated here 'Bhakti', one of his essays in which he suggests a new interpretation of 'bhakti', the path of self-surrender to the Divinity, in the light of the medieval devotional literature and ancient sapiential books. 2004-12-31T23:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10278/155 Title: Considerazioni generali per lo studio della teriantropia indiana Author⁄s: Filippi, Gian Giuseppe Abstract: In India, mostly among the low castes and the forest inhabitants, the belief on the therianthropy is still alive. The origin of that tradition goes back to the Vedic times, as it is testified in several Hymns belonging to the 'atharvan' ritual stream. The wizards who are the sources of this possession typology would provoke the phenomena of transformation of some human being in were-tigers. Therefore since the most ancient time this magic operation has been considered by Indian people as the 'tiger illness'; actually, with the support of scientific means, it is possible to demonstrate that the 'tiger illness' is a real pathology overlapping with the rabies epidemics. 2004-12-31T23:00:00Z
