| Summary: | The article is dedicated to three fundamental characteristics of the style of Stefano D’Arrigo’s novel Horcynus Orca (Mondadori, 1975): the relationship between the additive syntax and the semantic expansion of the objects of discourse, the thematic stasis, and the rhetorical strategies aimed at conceptualising the referents, narrowing their contours, or extending them by analogy. A brief introduction aims to emphasise the link between these three stylistic instances (active on multiple linguistic levels: syntactic, semantic, and textual) and the thematic dimension of the marvellous. L’articolo è dedicato a tre caratteristiche fondamentali dello stile del romanzo di Stefano D’Arrigo Horcynus Orca (Mondadori, 1975): il rapporto tra la costruzione sintattica per addendi e la dilatazione semantica degli oggetti del discorso, la stasi tematica, e l’insieme di espedienti retorici finalizzati a concettualizzare i referenti, restringendone i contorni, o estendendoli tramite analogia. Una breve introduzione mira a sottolineare il legame che intercorre fra queste tre istanze stilistiche (attive su più livelli linguistici: sintattico, semantico, e testuale) e la dimensione tematica del meraviglioso. |
