However, the Chinese logographic system was scarcely fi t for the representation of the language of Japan; therefore, various strategies were devised in order to represent Japanese adequately. Among such strategies, those intended to give a graphic representation of the texts of the oral tradition are mainly based on a phonographic use of logographs or a mixed system using both logographs and phonographs. The analysis of the attempt to give a written representation of orality by means of logographic characters is an interesting fi eld of study both for specialists of Japan and for all the scholars engaged in the study of writing and its relation with language.

The presence of colloquial oral language (al-lugha al-‛âmmiyya) in written texts is underlined by the evidence of particular features connected with different historical periods, between the 19th and the 20th centuries. Towards the middle of the 20th century, Arabic literary criticism had already created some theories on the subject of a modernization in classical Arabic language in the direction of a more simple linguistic code, applied to literary texts and particularly to realistic dialogues: as regards the fi eld of theatrical literature, this article studies some theories and practices by two important dramatists of the period, the Egyptians Tawfîq al-Hakîm and Mahmûd Taymûr.

As a fi ne dialectologist, Belli invented a diacritic script to render the sounds of the dialect to guide the reading of the verses out loud. The typology of the Bellian sonnets comprises dialogue-sonnets read out loud by several voices, dialogues referred to in the monologue of the speaker, but above all monologues with silent listeners, in which, however, one can deduce the physiognomy of the speaker as well as that of the interlocutor. It is not easy to establish the relationship between the I-writer and Ispeaker, between author and character: does the poet use the common man as his own spokesman? Does he keep his distance from him? Is he his accomplice or the object of his satire? The oral performance itself of the text presupposes an interpretation both of the message and of the tone.

Where synonymic and homonymic modality necessarily overlay and alternate with one another, translators have always tried to reach that dimension which reconciles/harmonises the voice of the original text with that of the translation. Particularly interesting theoretical and practical results appeared between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance when European languages were establishing their autonomy from classical languages, and were making every effort to demonstrate their excellence in reciprocal competition. In more recent times, the semiotics of the 1970s and 1980s subjected the boldest experiments which guided the contemporary avant-garde to careful classification and impassioned discussion, with results that are still open to debate and reflection.
