Towards a New Standard
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 la...
Troubadour Texts and Contexts
New interpretations of different aspects of troubadour texts and lyrics, from their main themes and motifs to their reception and influence. Nearly a millennium after their songs of love, politics, war, satire, and redemption began to fill the courts of Europe, the troubadours continue to fascinate modern audiences. However, many aspects of their work, such as the supposedly adulterous nature of fin'amor, the "Frenchness" of the troubadours, the biographical veracity of the vidas, and the inherent misogyny of the troubadour lyric, have long been taken for granted. This volume takes a fresh look at these ideas, questioning many of the formative assumptions of troubadour scholarship, and propo...
A Grammar of Piedmontese
Cerea, madamin, andoma bin? Less than a century ago, this was one of the most frequent greetings heard in Piedmont, a region in northwest Italy. Today, however, Piedmontese is severely endangered. This volume presents the first widely accessible and comprehensive grammatical description of the contemporary koine, covering its phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, pragmatics and typology, and drawing examples from both oral and written sources. Data on the history of the language and the local dialects and notes on revitalization efforts are also included.

In montagna non ci sono alberi
L’autrice racconta in prima persona luoghi, incontri e modalità di lavoro sperimentate nel corso degli anni in diverse località di montagna, ma anche di come gli abitanti di quei luoghi hanno saputo rispondere ai cambiamenti e alle conseguenti sfide legate alle trasformazioni globali e ai nuovi bisogni della loro terra. In questo viaggio, la scrittura autobiografica si intreccia con ciò che la montagna e i suoi abitanti possono insegnare in un momento in cui le questioni ambientali, oltre a quelle sociali ed economiche, ci pongono di fronte a scelte che riguardano la nostra stessa sopravvivenza.
