This volume presents current empirical and theoretical approaches to metaphony in the languages of Italy. Besides accurate descriptions of partly new data, the book features a wide variety of formal ...phonological analyses and evaluates their explanatory adequacy. It concludes with a discussion of the locus of metaphony in grammar. This collection bridges the gap between descriptive works and theoretical thinking in the study of metaphony.
The series Studies in Language Change presents empirically based research that extends knowledge about historical relations among the world's languages without restriction to any particular language ...family or region. While not devoted explicitly to theoretical explanations, the series hopes to contribute to the advancement in understandings of language change as well as adding to the store of well-analysed historical-comparative data on the world's languages.
The architecture of the human language faculty has been one of the main foci of the linguistic research of the last half century. This branch of linguistics, broadly known as Generative Grammar, is ...concerned with the formulation of explanatory formal accounts of linguistic phenomena with the ulterior goal of gaining insight into the properties of the 'language organ'. The series comprises high quality monographs and collected volumes that address such issues. The topics in this series range from phonology to semantics, from syntax to information structure, from mathematical linguistics to studies of the lexicon.

In many European languages the National Standard Variety is converging with spoken, informal, and socially marked varieties. In Italian this process is giving rise to a new standard variety called ...Neo-standard Italian, which partly consists of regional features. This book contributes to current research on standardization in Europe by offering a comprehensive overview of the re-standardization dynamics in Italian. Each chapter investigates a specific dynamic shaping the emergence of Neo-standard Italian and Regional Standard Varieties, such as the acceptance of previously non-standard features, the reception of Old Italian features excluded from the standard variety, the changing standard language ideology, the retention of features from Italo-Romance dialects, the standardization of patterns borrowed from English, and the developmental tendencies of standard Italian in Switzerland. The contributions investigate phonetic/phonological, prosodic, morphosyntactic, and lexical phenomena, addressed by several empirical methodologies and theoretical vantage points. This work is of interest to scholars and students working on language variation and change, especially those focusing on standard languages and standardization dynamics.
This volume is a collection of grammar sketches from several Italo-Romance languages and dialects. Each chapter describes a salient phenomenon for a given language, based on novel data, as well as ...the state-of-the art knowledge on the phenomenon.

Abstract
The
Glossario Artusiano
(
Artusian Glossary
) has been designed as a lexicographical tool, capable of gathering and studying the whole lexicographical wealth of Pellegrino Artusi’s
La ...Scienza in cucina e l’Arte di mangiar bene
(1
st
edition in 1891; 15
th
edition in 1911), a cornerstone of Italian gastronomic culture. By looking at some case studies, this article illustrates the criteria, tools and methodology which may have been used to compose the glossary. The purpose is to highlight how these results can establish a constructive dialogue with the
Vocabolario Storico della Lingua Italiana della Gastronomia
(VoSLIG), within the framework of the

A major contribution to the study of language acquisition and language development inspired by theoretical linguistics has been made by research on the acquisition of Italian syntax. This book offers ...an updated overview of results from theory-driven experimental and corpus-based research on the acquisition of Italian in different modes (monolingual, early and late L2, SLI, etc.), as well as exploring possible developments for future research. The book focuses on experimental studies which address research questions generated by linguistic theory, providing a detailed illustration of the fruitful interaction between linguistic theorizing and developmental studies. The authors are leading figures in theoretical linguistics and language acquisition; their own work is featured in the research presented here. Students and advanced researchers will benefit from the systematic review offered by this book and the critical assessment of the field that it provides.
The series Manuals of Romance Linguistics (MRL) aims to present a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of Romance linguistics. It will comprise approximately 60 volumes that can either be ...consulted individually or used as a series of books providing a detailed overall picture of the current state of research in Romance linguistics. A special focus will be placed on the presentation and analysis of the smaller languages, the linguae minores, which the two older reference works of the discipline, Lexikon der Romanistischen Linguistik (1988–2005) and Romanische Sprachgeschichte (2003–2008) did not discuss in detail, as well as on current research trends. A full list of volumes published or to appear shortly can be found under the tab "Volumes". Further volumes in planning: * * Manuel de linguistique roumaine, edited by Wolfgang Dahmen and Eugen Munteanu, vol. 9 * Manual of Galician Linguistics, edited by Xulio Sousa and Ernesto González Seoane, vol. 19 * Manual of Judaeo-Romance Linguistics and Philology, edited by Guido Mensching and Frank Savelsberg * Manuel des langues créoles à base française, edited by Philipp Krämer, Katrin Mutz, and Peter Stein * Manual of Applied Romance Linguistics, edited by Julia Montemayor Gracia, Vera Neusius, and Claudia Polzin-Haumann * Manual of Romance Morphology and Word Formation, edited by Philipp Burdy, Sarah Dessì Schmid, and Daniela Marzo * Manual of Classification and Typology of the Romance Languages, edited by Matthias Heinz, Lorenzo Filipponio, and Marc-Olivier Hinzelin * Manual of Romance Languages in Africa, edited by Ursula Reutner * Manuel de linguistique corse, edited by Stella Retali-Medori * Manuel d'étymologie lexicale romane, edited by Éva Buchi * Manual of Discourse Markers in Romance, edited by Maj-Britt Mosegaard Hansen and Jacqueline Visconti * Manuel de linguistique occitane, edited by Louise Esher and Jean Sibille * Manual de lingüística asturiana, edited by Ana Maria Cano González * Manual of Romance Forensic Linguistics, edited by Victoria Guillén-Nieto and Dieter Stein * Manual of Romance Word Classes, edited by Anna-Maria De Cesare and Giampaolo Salvi
Questo Manuale di linguistica italiana intende fornire un quadro d'insieme aggiornato (in particolare post 1988) sulla lingua italiana e anche dare conto di ricerche e ambiti maggiormente esplorati ...negli ultimi venti anni come, in diacronia, le scriptae italo-romanze, l'italiano fuori d'Italia (dal Medioevo a oggi), le varietà d'italiano nel passato, la sintassi dell'italiano antico. Il volume è suddiviso in tre sezioni: l'italiano nella storia; l'italiano contemporaneo; i luoghi della codificazione / le questioni / gli sviluppi recenti della ricerca. Nella seconda sezione un capitolo sull'italiano di oggi illustra i tratti più significativi della lingua che cambia(a sé è trattata la morfologia con la formazione delle parole), mentre molto articolata è la parte dedicata all'italiano variazionale la cui architettura è più complessa rispetto a pochi decenni fa dato il quadro sociolinguistico notevolmente mutato e l'influsso significativo dei media anche sui fatti di lingua. Alcuni settori hanno avuto inoltre un incremento notevole di studio: la pragmatica, la linguistica testuale, la linguistica dei corpora, come del resto anche la didattica dell'italiano, che si è consolidata anche nella prospettiva della L2 grazie a importanti studi di linguistica acquisizionale.
