| è un segno rinviante a se stesso in quanto nome della propria forma it is a symbol referring back to itself, naming its own form Explanation: It's talking about how a dictionary entry is self-referential. I think you just have to alter this one to make it make sense in English, because a more literal translation doesn't come across very well. |
