The apophantic terms enunciate entities to which they actually refer. In the case of the ‘violin’ we observe how the term is widespread in almost all cultures. A common etymological origin can be only supposed; we can observe that the root ‘viol-’ is shared in a large area. However, there are other expressions to refer to this musical instrument. In many languages the violin is differently named. Its diffusion is attested beside the linguistic ways of evoking it.

Abstract
The apophantic terms enunciate entities to which they actually refer. In the case of the ‘violin’ we observe how the term is widespread in almost all cultures. A common etymological origin can be only supposed; we can observe that the root ‘viol-’ is shared in a large area. However, there are other expressions to refer to this musical instrument. In many languages the violin is differently named. Its diffusion is attested beside the linguistic ways of evoking it.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
