1.Linguistics is the science that studies language. 2.Linguist:Someone who studies linguistics. 3.The Subfields of Linguistics Phonetics deals with the sounds of language. Phonology deals with how the sounds are organized. Morphology deals with how sounds are put together to form words. Syntax deals with how sentences are formed. Semantics deals with the meaning of words, sentences, and texts. Pragmatics deals with how sentences and texts are used in the world (i.e., in context) Text Linguistics deals with units larger than sentences, such as paragraphs and texts. 4.Prescriptive: This approach consists basically of stating what is considered right and wrong in language. 5.Descriptive: This approach, on the other hand, consists of describing the facts. Descriptive linguistics is dedicated to describing the rules of the language, and the language is seen as essentially rule governed. 6.Language is rule-governed, creative, universal, innate, and learned, all at the same time. 7.Linguists understand language as a system of arbitrary vocal signs. 8.Linguistic signs: involve sequences of sounds which represent concrete objects and events as well as abstractions.Signs may be related to the things they represent in a number of ways. 9.Iconic: which resemble the things they represent (as do, for example, photographs, diagrams, star charts, or chemical models). 10.Indexical: which point to or have a necessary connection with the things they represent (as do, for example, smoke to fire, a weathercock to the direction of the wind, a symptom to an illness, a smile to happiness, or a frown to anger). 11.Describe the characteristics of human language: Creative: (The structural elements of human language can be combined to produce new utterances, which neither the speaker nor his hearers may ever have made or heard before.) Rule-governed: (Language is made of rules.) Universal: (There are some aspects that are present in all languages of the world.) Innate:(all humans possess an innate capacity for language, activated in infancy by minimal environmental stimuli. Chomsky) Uniquely human: (Language is what sets us apart from other species. It is what makes us human.) Learned:(Children acquire language from their natural setting.) 12.Differentiate between iconic, indexical and symbolic signs. A. iconic, which resemble the things they represent (as do, for example, photographs, diagrams, star charts, or chemical models) B. indexical, which point to or have a necessary connection with the things they represent (as do, for example, smoke to fire, a weathercock to the direction of the wind, a symptom to an illness, a smile to happiness, or a frown to anger). c. symbolic, which are only conventionally related to the thing they represent (as do, for example, a flag to a nation, a rose to love, a wedding ring to marriage). 12. Distinguish between different senses of the grammar word. The prescriptivist´s grammar (Grammar is a set of rules that label the different utterances as either right or wrong.) The descriptivist´s grammar (Grammar is a set of rules that govern the langauge spoken by people. ) The linguist´s grammar (Grammar is the subconscious knowledge of the set of rules that enables speakers to use the language) The speaker´s grammar (Grammar is the intrinsic linguistic knowledge within a native speaker) 13.Describe common fallacies about language and grammar: ►One type of grammar is simpler than another. ►Changes in grammar involve deterioration in a language ►Grammars should be logical and analogical (that is, regular) ►People must be taught the grammatical rules of their language. ►Only some languages have grammar. ►Grammars differ from each other in unpredictable ways. 14.Generality: All Languages Have a Grammar 15. Equality: All Grammars Are Equal 16.Changeability: Grammars Change Over Time 17. Universality: Grammars Are Alike in Basic Ways 18.Tacitness: Grammatical Knowledge Is Subconscious 19.Linguistics is defined as the study of language systems. It is the scientific study of language. 20.Historical approach:It is the study of language change. 21.Linguistic Competence: is the unconscious knowledge speakers of a language have about the system that enables them to create and understand novel utterances. 22.Performance: is the use of it. Performance is “the actual use of language in concrete situations.” 23.I-Language (internal language): which is the intrinsic linguistic knowledge within a native speaker. 24.E-Language (external language): which is the observable language—the output from a speaker. 25.Parole ('speech') refers to the concrete instances of the use of langue, including texts which provide the ordinary research material for linguistics. 26.Langue: 27.Language: is a system of communication that is non-stereotyped and non-finite; it is unlimited in its scope. 28.Grammar: to refer to a subconscious linguistic system of a particular type. Grammar makes possible the production and comprehension of a potentially unlimited number of utterances. 29.Communication and animals: Selecting a mode of communication (speech,writing, gesture). Delivering the symbols through a medium, a physical basis for communication, light, air, or ink. Decoding of the symbols to obtain the information. 30.SIGNS: Communication relies on using something to stand for something else. Words are an obvious example of this: You do not have to have a car, a sandwich, or your cousin present in order to talk about them—the words car, sandwich, and cousin stand for them instead. This same phenomenon is found in animal communication as well. 31.The signifier: A signifier is that part of a sign that stimulates at least one sense organ of the receiver of a message.A signifier can also be a picture, a photograph, a sign language gesture, or one of the many other words for tree in different languages. 32.The signified: The signified component of the sign refers to both the real world object it represents and its conceptual content. The first of these is the real world content of the sign, its extension or referent within a system of signs such as English, avian communication, or sign language. 33.Iconic signs or icons: always bear some resemblance to their referent. A photograph is an iconic sign; so too is a stylized silhouette of a female or a male on a restroom door. 34.Some iconic tokens: a. open-mouth threat by a Japanese macaque; b. park recreation signs; c. onomatopoeic words in English. 35.An indexical sign, or index, fulfils its function by pointing out its referent, typically by being a partial or representative sample of it. Indexes are not arbitrary, since their presence has in some sense been caused by their referent. For this reason it is sometimes said that there is a causal link between an indexical sign and its referent.The track of an animal, for example, points to the existence of the animal by representing a part of it. The presence of smoke is an index of fire. 36.Symbolic signs: bear an arbitrary relationship to their referents and in this way are distinct from both icons and indexes. Human language is highly symbolic in that the vast majority of its signs bear no inherent resemblance or causal connection to their referents, as the following words show. 37.Mixed signs Signs: are not always exclusively of one type or another. Symptomatic signs, for example, may have iconic properties, as when a dog opens its mouth in a threat to bite. Symbolic signs such as traffic lights are symptomatic in that they reflect the internal state of the mechanism that causes them to change color. 38.Signals: All signs can act as signals when they trigger a specific action on the part of the receiver, as do traffic lights, words in human language such as the race starter's "Go!", or the warning calls of birds. 39.SIGN STRUCTURE: No matter what their type, signs show different kinds of structure. A basic distinction is made between graded and discrete sign structure. 40.Graded signs convey their meaning by changes in degree. A good example of a gradation in communication is voice volume. The more you want to be heard, the louder you speak along an increasing scale of loudness. There are no steps or jumps from one level to the next that can be associated with a specific change in meaning. 41.Discrete signs are distinguished from each other by categorical (stepwise) differences. There is no gradual transition from one sign to the next. The words of human language are good examples of discrete signs. 42.A VIEW OF ANIMAL COMMUNICATION ►Largely iconic ►Largely symptomatic ►Little arbitrary ►Not deliberate ►Not conscious ►Not symbolic ►Stimulus bound

Make a multiple choice quiz for my year 8 science students based on the science in this transcript from a video: 3°C 0:04 It can be the difference between snow and sleet 0:08 Wearing a jacket or not 0:11 In your day-to-day life, it may not seem significant 0:15 But 3°C of global warming would be catastrophic 0:20 Heatwaves, droughts, extreme precipitation, even fire 0:25 3°C of warming is really disastrous 0:28 The scary thing is, the world is well on its way there 0:32 Since the industrial revolution, the Earth has warmed between 1.1°C and 1.3°C 0:40 This is a problem that babies you pass in the street will have to live with 0:46 Children born today... 0:47 ...are up to seven times more likely to face extreme weather than their grandparents 0:52 If global temperatures do rise by 3°C... 0:55 ...what would their world look like? Climate change is already having devastating effects 1:03 Rising sea levels 1:05 Desertification 1:07 Hollywood has always enjoyed imagining the end of the world 1:11 While blockbusters like this are clearly fiction... 1:14 ...this film will show the scenario we all face... 1:17 ...unless more drastic measures are taken to stop burning fossil fuels 1:30 In some parts of the world the effects of inaction are already clear 1:35 The slums of Bangladesh’s capital are filling up with climate migrants 1:41 Minara comes from Bhola District, an area in southern Bangladesh 1:46 There, like many other parts of the country... 1:49 ...rivers swollen by heavier rain and melting Himalayan glaciers... 1:53 ...are washing away people’s homes 1:56 Many, like her, have lost everything 2:00 Our home in Bhola had endless amounts of land 2:03 There was lots of space for farming, we had a spacious house 2:08 There were different types of fruits, vegetation and trees growing at home 2:12 We used to eat the fruit from our own trees 2:18 I can’t eat them now because they don't exist anymore 2:21 Since the river flooded for the third time, I had to flee to Dhaka 2:26 Life was much better back home 2:29 It was unbearable to live through, truly intolerable 2:33 We didn’t have the time to save anything at all 2:38 1.1°C to 1.3°C of global warming has already transformed Minara’s life 2:45 It’s one of the reasons why so many migrants like her... 2:47 ...are moving to the city each year... 2:50 ...nearly 400,000 according to the last estimate 2:53 And climate models show there could be much worse to come How climate modelling works 3:02 Climate scientist Joeri Rogelj... 3:04 ...has spent the last ten years modelling future climate scenarios... 3:08 ...for the United Nations 3:10 The models we use to carry out this exercise... 3:13 ...really represent the state of the art... 3:15 ...of our current knowledge of climate change and where we are heading 3:19 Joeri’s projections use data collected by hundreds of scientists around the world 3:26 Here this is the 3°C level... 3:28 ...and so there is at least a one-in-four chance that under current policies... 3:32 ...we would hit 3°C by the end of the century 3:36 This is just one of the scenarios Joeri looks at 3:40 Another one imagines that all policy promises are kept 3:44 The most optimistic assumes that all promises have been kept... 3:47 ...and net-zero targets are met 3:50 Where our best estimate ends up around 2°C at the end of the century... 3:54 ...there is still a one-in-20 chance that we end up with 3°C instead 3:59 One would not be entering a plane if there is a one-in-20 chance... 4:03 ...that the plane will crash Nowhere is safe from global warming 4:07 A rise of 3°C would affect everyone 4:10 Even wealthy cities in rich countries wouldn’t be immune to the consequences 4:15 European capitals like Paris and Berlin... 4:18 ...would bake under more extreme heatwaves 4:22 Frequent storm-surges in New York could turn parts of the city desolate 4:27 In many ways, cities magnify, intensify climate events 4:33 Cities are hotter than the places around them... 4:36 ...they tend to be more vulnerable to flooding 4:39 And you can get a really bad event in a city in a way that you can’t in the countryside 4:46 And because of their denser populations... 4:49 ...disasters in a city affect far more people 4:52 Some cities might be badly prepared for the changes coming 4:56 But they have the means to adapt 4:59 Cities tend to be wealthier than surrounding places 5:03 They have a lot of amenities 5:05 A city that has taken seriously the risks of a 3°C world... 5:08 …wouldn’t necessarily be a worse place to be in a 3°C world 5:12 But a city that hasn’t prepared for these sort of eventualities... 5:16 ...that might be a really nasty place The impact of prolonged droughts 5:20 So far, many developed cities have got off lightly... 5:24 ...but some rural parts of the world are suffering disproportionately 5:29 Smallholders—small-scale farmers—are particularly vulnerable to climate change 5:35 And there are over 600 million around the world 5:38 Smallholders with farms under two hectares... 5:40 ...produce around a third of the global food supply 5:46 Central America’s “Dry Corridor”... 5:48 ...supports a mix of smallholdings and medium-sized farms 5:53 Sandwiched between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea... 5:56 ...the area is prone to droughts 6:08 Israel Ramírez Rivera is a smallholder in Guatemala 6:12 Here, climate change is making the dry seasons longer, and more severe 6:18 This is the biggest ear of maize that this plot could deliver 6:23 He depends on his crops of corn and beans 6:26 But they’re getting harder to grow 6:30 The surrounding mountains... 6:32 ...used to provide us with native food... 6:38 ...and now that isn’t an option anymore... 6:41 ...due to climate change and its effects 6:46 Nearly two-thirds of the smallholders in the Dry Corridor now live in poverty 6:52 The impact of all of this for us... 6:59 ...malnutrition among children 7:03 We’ve lost a few 7:07 For my crops especially, the midsummer heat is harder than before 7:16 The plant dries up and can’t provide us... 7:19 ...with the necessary food provision 7:24 Severe droughts in Central America... 7:26 ...are now four times more likely than they were last century 7:30 Many families from here have gone to the States 7:37 The economic despair and debts... 7:44 ...have pushed many people from this community to do this journey 7:53 Migration from Guatemala to the United States has quadrupled since 1990 7:59 Not all of this has been due to climate change 8:02 But longer droughts would force even more to move 8:05 In a 3°C world, annual rainfall in this region... 8:09 ...could drop by up to 14% 8:12 At 3°C, over a quarter of the world’s population... 8:16 ...could endure extreme droughts for at least a month of the year 8:19 Northern Africa could see droughts that last for years at a time Rising sea levels, storm surges and flooding 8:24 But for some, too much water will be the problem 8:29 10% of the world’s population lives on a coastline... 8:32 ...that’s less than 10 metres above sea level 8:35 For these coastal inhabitants, a 3°C world would spell disaster 8:40 By 2100, global sea levels could have climbed by half a metre from 2005 levels 8:46 Low-lying cities like Lagos would be especially vulnerable... 8:49 ...with up to up to a third of the population displaced 8:54 And in Fiji, rising waters are already upending lives 9:04 You can see the graveyard there, it’s all under water now... 9:08 ...due to this rising sea level and climate change 9:15 The village of Togoru in Fiji is being swallowed by the sea 9:19 Barney Dunn, the village headman, has seen over half the village disappear 9:24 Relatives’ houses have been abandoned, and family graves are now under water 9:29 We have been asked by the government to relocate... 9:32 ...but no one wants to relocate... 9:34 ...because we have our great-great-grandparents down there in the sea 9:39 This is the place we’ve been brought up in 9:41 ...it’s not easy to leave 9:44 Past attempts to build a seawall haven’t worked 9:48 But Barney sees building a new one as the village’s only hope 9:52 If they do that, maybe we can save whatever is left 9:56 But if we don’t have the seawall, then it will be keep eroding and time will come... 10:01 ...maybe in ten,15 years, Togoru will be all eroded 10:05 Rising seas also mean storms cause more floods 10:11 And many more countries could suffer 10:14 The Philippines and Myanmar are just two countries... 10:17 ...that will also see an increase in storm surges in a 3°C world 10:21 To escape, many will move… 10:24 …often, to urban areas Extreme heat and wet-bulb temperatures 10:27 Half the world’s population already lives in cities... 10:31 ...almost a third in slums 10:36 For them, a 3°C world could be deadly 10:40 Minara has moved to Dhaka to escape the impact of climate change 10:44 But life could get even worse for her 10:47 I’m struggling a lot nowadays 10:49 The heat during the day is unbearable 10:52 Even late at night it doesn’t cool down 10:57 The heat is getting more intense every day 10:59 I mean, it’s going to get much worse 11:03 I can barely survive it now, how will I live through it in the future? 11:08 Dhaka is getting hotter 11:11 In the last 20 years the average daytime temperature... 11:13 ...has crept up by nearly half a degree 11:17 Days that approach 40°C are now being reported 11:20 And high so-called wet-bulb temperatures are on the rise 11:26 A wet-bulb temperature is a measure of heat and humidity 11:30 Humans cool themselves by sweating… 11:32 But in these conditions, when relative humidity is near 100%... 11:36 ...sweat doesn’t evaporate well 11:38 So people can’t cool down… 11:41 ...even if given unlimited shade and water 11:45 At a high wet-bulb temperature, the body can’t lose heat... 11:49 ...and so it gets hotter and hotter... 11:51 ...and the body is designed to work at a given temperature 11:53 And if it gets too hot inside, you will die 11:58 The human limit for wet-bulb temperatures is 35°C... 12:02 ...around skin temperature 12:04 Dhaka will have a much higher chance... 12:05 ...of reaching dangerous wet-bulb temperatures... 12:07 ...if global warming reaches 3°C 12:12 You can’t really adapt to that 12:14 You have to get out. If the temperature is so high that you can’t work... 12:20 ...can’t do hard manual labour outside for significant parts of the year... 12:25 ...then many places will become functionally no longer part of the economy 12:33 Jacobabad in Pakistan, and Ras al Khaimah, in the United Arab Emirates... 12:37 ...have already recorded deadly wet-bulb temperatures 12:40 More of the tropics and the Persian Gulf... 12:43 ...as well as parts of Mexico and the south-eastern United States... 12:47 ...could all get to this threshold by the end of the century 12:50 Climate modelling might show us the weather Increased migration and conflict 12:52 But it doesn’t show us its other effects on society 12:56 Established migration patterns could change 12:59 Climate disasters may exacerbate reasons people cross borders 13:03 Within countries, more people will move to cities 13:07 In a 3°C world, tens of millions of people a year... 13:10 ...could be displaced by disasters made worse by climate change 13:15 When people are displaced by climate... 13:18 …they may well go to cities... 13:19 ...because cities are the places that attract people from the countryside already 13:25 A lot of people who can get to the developed world... 13:28 ...not least because the developed world tends to be less hot, will give that a go 13:35 As migration around the world increases... 13:38 ...there could be more competition for fewer resources 13:42 Water—already a highly contested resource—will be a focal point 13:47 Turkey’s new Ilisu dam has reduced the flow of water into Iraq 13:53 China lays claim to rivers vital to India and Pakistan 13:57 The prospect of a water-conflict makes people very uneasy 14:03 How national tensions would exacerbate those sorts of reactions... 14:08 ...in a 3°C world... 14:09 ...is the sort of thing that no one should really want to find out 14:14 I think you’d have to be incredibly sanguine... 14:16 ...not to think that the sort of climate extremes that we talk about... 14:19 ...in a 3°C world wouldn’t lead some places... 14:22 ...to the brink of societal collapse 14:25 Those lucky enough to escape unrest... Adaptation and mitigation are crucial 14:28 ...would still have to adapt to a radically different world 14:32 People can adapt to climate change in all sorts of ways, one of the most obvious ones... 14:37 ...is air conditioning 14:39 But other ways to adapt at a local or regional level... 14:42 ...I mean, one of the most obvious is diversifying agriculture 14:47 There are physical things you can do, like seawalls 14:52 The fact that people can adapt and that adaptation will reduce suffering... 14:57 ...doesn’t mean that it will eliminate suffering 15:00 Suffering is built into this whole process of heating up the planet 15:06 Adaptation will only get the world so far 15:09 The best way to deal with a 3°C world... 15:12 ...is not to go to a 3°C world 15:14 And that’s why increasing efforts on mitigation are important 15:17 It’s why working towards negative emissions... 15:20 ...that could bring down the temperature after it peaks are important 15:25 Once you get to a 3°C world, you are in real bad global trouble 15:33 The scale of change needed... 15:35 ...and the slow progress of governments so far... 15:38 ...means 3°C of warming is uncomfortably likely unless more is done 15:44 Despite existing pledges, greenhouse-gas emissions... 15:48 ...are still set to rise by 16% from 2010 levels by 2030 15:54 The need to act has never been clearer 15:57 There’s still time to reduce emissions, so that a 3°C world remains fiction... 16:02 ...rather than becoming fact

0:01 i pasticciotti presentano Federico II di 0:05 Sveia 0:07 Nel 0:09 1186 Costanza D'Alta Villa figlia del re 0:12 normno di Sicilia Ruggero II sposò ormai 0:16 trentenne Enrico VI di Svevia figlio 0:20 dell'imperatore Federico Barbarossa che 0:23 si servì di questo matrimonio per 0:26 stringere un'alleanza politica con la 0:28 monarchia siciliana 0:31 Purtroppo non fu un'unione felice sia 0:34 perché il marito aveva 10 anni in meno 0:37 della moglie sia perché lui non aveva un 0:40 bel carattere e pare che rinfacciasse 0:44 continuamente a costanza la sua età 0:47 avanzata temendo che ciò fosse causa di 0:50 sterilità 0:52 Alla morte di Federico Barbarossa nel 0:56 1190 Enrico VI ereditò dal padre il 1:00 titolo di imperatore del Sacro Romano 1:02 Impero ma era incapace di esercitare un 1:06 buon governo nei confronti dei sudditi 1:09 normanni che vivevano nel regno di 1:11 Sicilia portatogli in dote dalla moglie 1:14 Costanza 1:16 Così nel 1:18 1994 Enrico partì per una spedizione in 1:22 Sicilia senza la moglie al seguito e 1:25 fece in modo di essere incoronato re di 1:28 Sicilia il giorno di Natale nella 1:31 cattedrale di 1:33 Palermo Lo stesso giorno Costanza che 1:36 era in avanzato stato di gravidanza e 1:39 stava viaggiando in direzione di Palermo 1:42 per raggiungere il marito si rese conto 1:44 di essere prossima al 1:47 parto Se oggi nessuno più si meraviglia 1:50 della gravidanza di una quarantenne nel 1:52 Medioevo una gestazione a quell'età 1:55 sembrava una cosa praticamente 1:57 impossibile Pertanto si erano alimentate 2:01 voci malevoli sulla vera condizione di 2:04 costanza e neppure il marito pareva 2:07 realmente convinto della gravidanza 2:09 della moglie E dato che Costanza prima 2:12 di sposarsi era stata per un periodo in 2:16 monastero circolava addirittura la voce 2:19 che nel suo grembo ci fosse 2:21 l'anticristo che secondo una leggenda 2:24 medievale sarebbe nato dall'unione di 2:26 una vecchia monaca con un 2:29 frate Così Costanza decise di fermarsi 2:33 nella cittadina di Iesi e per fugare 2:36 ogni dubbio sulla sua gravidanza fece 2:39 allestire una tenda nella piazza 2:42 centrale della cittadina 2:44 marchigiana in modo da partorire al 2:47 cospetto di tutte le donne sposate del 2:50 paese Alcuni riferirono che il giorno 2:53 successivo al parto la regina lattò 2:56 pubblicamente il piccolo che poi fu 2:59 battezzato nella cattedrale di San 3:01 Ruffino di Assisi con il nome di 3:04 Federico 3:06 Ruggero Federico per indicare la 3:09 discendenza sveva quale nipote di 3:12 Federico 3:13 Barbarossa e Ruggero per sottolineare la 3:17 discendenza normanna dal primo re di 3:20 Sicilia Ruggero 3:23 d'Altavilla A soli 3 anni il piccolo 3:26 Federico rimase orfano e fu posto sotto 3:30 la tutela di Papa Innocenzo II da cui si 3:33 affrancò a 14 anni quando divenne prima 3:37 re di Sicilia e poi re di 3:41 Germania acquisendo il nome di Federico 3:44 II congiuntamente al titolo di 3:47 imperatore nel 1220 3:50 Ma Federico era più interessato 3:53 all'Italia che alla 3:54 Germania Così stabilì la sua corte in 3:57 Sicilia a 4:00 Palermo Federico II organizzò un regno 4:04 forte e 4:05 accentrato costruendo in tutta l'Italia 4:08 meridionale vari castelli dove collocò 4:11 le sue truppe che dovevano controllare 4:14 il territorio e sedare eventuali rivolte 4:18 Vanno menzionati in particolare il 4:21 castello di Melfi in Basilicata dove 4:25 furono promulgate le famose costituzioni 4:29 melfitane una raccolta di leggi scritte 4:32 rivolte a tutti gli abitanti del regno 4:35 con cui si limitavano i poteri dei 4:38 baroni locali e si vietava il ricorso 4:41 alla vendetta personale per affidarsi 4:44 invece alla giustizia stabilita dalle 4:47 leggi 4:48 C'era poi il castello di Trani che aveva 4:51 la funzione di sorvegliare l'ingresso 4:54 alla città e al porto E infine il 4:58 celeberrimo castel del Monte 5:01 caratterizzato da un'originale pianta 5:03 ottagonale attorniata da torri anch'esse 5:07 ottagonali che fungeva da dimora come 5:10 testimoniato dalla presenza di grandi 5:13 camini Uomo colto fine giurista 5:17 Amante dell'arte della letteratura 5:20 Federico II ospitò alla sua corte 5:22 studiosi e artisti provenienti da tutta 5:25 Europa Dialogò con intellettuali arabi e 5:29 fondò l'Università di Napoli che ancora 5:32 oggi porta il suo 5:35 nome Con l'editto di Salerno regolamentò 5:38 per la prima volta la professione del 5:41 farmacista separandola di fatto da 5:44 quella del medico scrisse anche un libro 5:48 un manuale sulla falconeria e sull'arte 5:52 venatoria chiamato de Arte venandi cum 5:57 avibus ossia l'arte di cacciare con gli 6:01 uccelli che fu uno dei primi manoscritti 6:04 con disegni a tema 6:08 naturalistico In una nota alla sua morte 6:11 il monaco Matteo Paris lo chiamerà 6:14 stupor Mundi cioè stupore del mondo Un 6:19 appellativo che racchiude l'essenza 6:21 della sua inestinguibile curiosità 6:25 intellettuale che lo portò ad 6:27 approfondire la filosofia l'astrologia 6:30 la matematica l'algebra la medicina e le 6:34 scienze naturali ha al punto da 6:37 impiantare a Palermo persino uno zoo 6:40 famoso ai suoi tempi per il gran numero 6:43 di animali esotici che conteneva anche 6:46 un 6:47 elefante I rapporti col papo però non 6:51 furono idiaci 6:53 Sia Papa Onorio II che Gregorio Io detto 6:57 anche il Papa Guerriero lo costrinsero a 7:00 intraprendere una nuova crociata in 7:02 Terra Santa minacciando di scomunicarlo 7:06 qualora non l'avesse 7:08 fatto Così dopo tanta insistenza da 7:11 parte del papato Federico si mise in 7:13 viaggio per la Terra Santa 7:16 Giunto in Oriente però non mosse guerra 7:19 ai musulmani ma preferì stringere 7:22 accordi con il sultano d'Egitto 7:25 ottenendo il controllo della città di 7:27 Gerusalemme e una tregua di 10 anni 7:32 Si trattava di conquiste importanti dal 7:34 punto di vista diplomatico ma al suo 7:37 ritorno Federico II fu accusato 7:40 duramente di essere sceso a patti con 7:42 gli 7:43 infedeli Nel suo programma di governo 7:47 Federico II era intenzionato a 7:49 riaffermare la sua autorità sui comuni 7:52 del Nord Italia fatto che preoccupava il 7:56 Papa il quale temeva il rafforzamento 7:59 del potere imperiale anche a nord dello 8:02 Stato Pontificio già confinante a sud 8:05 con il Regno di Sicilia 8:08 In pratica il Papa si sentiva 8:11 schiacciato sia a nord che a sud 8:14 dall'imperatore Così Papa Gregorio Io 8:18 appoggiò alcuni comuni che si riunirono 8:20 nella Lega Lombarda e che furono detti 8:24 guelfi A questi si contrapposero i 8:27 comuni ghibellini che decisero di 8:30 schierarsi a sostegno 8:33 dell'imperatore Iniziò così una 8:35 lunghissima contesa che avrebbe 8:38 dilaniato le città 8:41 italiane Tutto 8:43 chiaro ciao e al prossimo 8:49 video Se questo video ti è piaciuto ti 8:52 chiedo di fare mi piace cliccando 8:53 sull'icona qui sotto Per me è molto 8:55 importante quindi grazie in anticipo se 8:57 lo farai Per essere informato ogni volta 8:59 che pubblico un nuovo video ricorda di 9:01 cliccare anche sul grande pulsante rosso 9:02 Iscriviti e sulla
