Abstract

"Tararì tararera", "Badabùm!", "Rulba, rulba", and "Piripù Bibi" are children books written by the Milanese writer and illustrator Emanuela Bussolati. In these books the stories are told in an "invented" language (the "language of Piripù"), consisting in a mix of slightly manipulated Italian words, sound symbolic expressions, and a-priori invented lexicon. The article examines how patterns of recurrence, regularly associated with images, are used by the author to generate sense, thus obtaining cohesive and coherent texts.
