Italian to English: The Language and Dynamics of Natalia Ginzburg General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - Italian When one first approaches the plays of Natalia Ginzburg in their original language, the first things one notices are the tone and the language she uses.
As a matter of fact, Natalia Ginzburg uses a type of Italian that is lacking dialectical influences, but which is also impossible to consider formal Italian.
What she uses is a type of Italian similar to formal standard Italian (usually considered ‘proper’ Italian), but one which retains all the tics and syntax of colloquial speech.
Contrary to the basic conventions of good Italian writing, Ginzburg employs a good amount of short sentences, repetitions, and even grammatical mishaps which are common in conversational Italian, but frowned upon in written Italian.
Translation - English Quando ci si approccia agli scritti teatrali di Natalia Ginzburg nel loro linguaggio d'origine, la prima cosa che si può notare è il suo uso del tono e del linguaggio.
E' un fatto che Natalia Ginzburg usa un tipo di italiano privo di influenze dialettali, ma che non è tuttavia possibile considerare un italiano formale. Ciò che usa è un tipo di italiano simile all'italiano formale standard (considerato generalmente italiano "vero"), ma che tuttavia mantiene i tic e la sintassi del linguaggio parlato.
Opponendosi alle convenzioni elementari del buon italiano scritto, la Ginzburg usa un numero considerevole di frasi breve, ripetizioni, e persino errori grammaticali comuni all'italiano di conversazione, ma mal giudicati nell'italiano scritto.
