When I discuss an idea for a possible paper with one of my students, I ask them to "send me an outline." Are Italian professors asking their students "mandami il profilo"? I haven't lived in Italy for more than 20 years, and I don't know the answer. Anyone living there in an academic environment shouldn't have too much troubles finding the answer (assuming there is one, of course). Cheers, S. (who will shut up on this topic from now on)
