Weber, Dean of the Graduate School iii CURRICULUM VITAE Ranieri Moore Cavaceppi was born in Rome, Italy on October 11, 1965, and moved to Washington, DC at the age of ten. A Fulbright Fellow and a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, Ranieri received an M.A. in Italian literature from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1996, whereupon he began his doctoral studies at Brown University with an emphasis on medieval and Renaissance Italian literature. Returning home to Washington in the fall of 2000, Ranieri became the father of three children, commenced his dissertation research on Knights Hospitaller, and was appointed the primary full-time instructor at American University, acting as language coordinator for the Italian program. iv PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I deeply appreciate the generous help that I received from each member of my dissertation committee: my advisor Ronald Martinez took a keen interest in this project since its inception in 2004 and suggested many of its leading insights; my readers Evelyn Lincoln and Ennio Rao contributed numerous observations and suggestions.
  • Molisans Between Transoceanic Vocations and the Lure of the Continent

    Molisans Between Transoceanic Vocations and the Lure of the Continent

    / 4 / 2011 / Migrations Molisans between transoceanic vocations and the lure of the Continent by Norberto Lombardi 1. The opening up of hyper-rural Molise After the armies had passed through Molise, on the morrow of the end of World War II, Molisans’ main preoccupation was not leaving their land and looking for better job and life prospects abroad. There were more immediate concerns, such as the return of prisoners, the high cost of living, rebuilding bombed towns, restoring roads and railways, restoring the water and electricity supply, and finding raw materials for artisanal activities. The recovery of the area was thus seen in a rather narrow perspective, as the healing of the wounds inflicted by the war to local society and the productive infrastructure, or, at most, as a reinforcement and development of traditional activities. The only sector where this perspective broadened was that of interregional transportation. The hope was to overcome the isolation of the region, although as a long-term project. When one peruses the local pages of the more or less politically engaged newspapers and journals that appeared with the return of democracy, and when one looks at institutional activities, especially those of the Consiglio provinciale di Campobasso, one is even surprised by the paucity and belatedness of references to the theme of emigration, deeply rooted as it is in the social conditions and culture of the Molisans.1 For example, one has to wait until 1949 for a report from Agnone, one of the historical epicenters of Molisan migration, to appear in the newspaper Il Messaggero.2 The report 1 For an overview of the phenomenon of migration in the history of the region, see Ricciarda Simoncelli, Il Molise.
  • Attitudes Towards the Safeguarding of Minority Languages and Dialects in Modern Italy

    Attitudes Towards the Safeguarding of Minority Languages and Dialects in Modern Italy

    ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE SAFEGUARDING OF MINORITY LANGUAGES AND DIALECTS IN MODERN ITALY: The Cases of Sardinia and Sicily Maria Chiara La Sala Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds Department of Italian September 2004 This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. The candidate confirms that the work submitted is her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. ABSTRACT The aim of this thesis is to assess attitudes of speakers towards their local or regional variety. Research in the field of sociolinguistics has shown that factors such as gender, age, place of residence, and social status affect linguistic behaviour and perception of local and regional varieties. This thesis consists of three main parts. In the first part the concept of language, minority language, and dialect is discussed; in the second part the official position towards local or regional varieties in Europe and in Italy is considered; in the third part attitudes of speakers towards actions aimed at safeguarding their local or regional varieties are analyzed. The conclusion offers a comparison of the results of the surveys and a discussion on how things may develop in the future. This thesis is carried out within the framework of the discipline of sociolinguistics. ii DEDICATION Ai miei figli Youcef e Amil che mi hanno distolto

Evidence from Two Peripheral Northern Italian Dialects Simone De Cia1 and Jessica Iubini-Hampton2 1 University of Manchester, GB 2 University of Liverpool, GB Corresponding author: Jessica Iubini-Hampton ([email protected]) tp://doi.org/10.3828/mlo.v0i0.358. This paper explores two peripheral Northern Italian dialects (NIDs), namely Lamonat and Frignanese, with respect to their genealogical linguistic classification. The two NIDs exhibit morpho-phonological and morpho-syntactic features that do not fall neatly into the Gallo-Italic sub-classification of Northern Italo-Romance, but resemble some of the core characteristics of the putative Rhaeto-Romance language family. This analysis of Lamonat and Frignanese reveals that their con- servative traits more closely relate to Rhaeto-Romance. The synchronic evidence from the two peripheral NIDs hence supports the argument against the unity and autonomy of Rhaeto-Romance as a language family, whereby the linguistic traits that distinguish Rhaeto-Romance within Northern Italo-Romance consist A corrigendum relating to this article has been published at ht of shared retentions rather than shared innovations, which were once common to virtually all NIDs. In this light, Rhaeto-Romance can be regarded as an array of conservative Gallo-Italic varieties.

LALIES 28 L’ITALIE ET SES DIALECTES1 FRANCK FLORICIC ET LUCIA MOLINU 0. INTRODUCTION GÉNÉRALE En dépit du fait que les langues romanes soient particulièrement bien étudiées et, généralement, bien connues dans leurs structures fondamentales, le domaine linguistique italien reste pour une grande part à défricher. Rohlfs observait que peu de domaines linguistiques offrent une fragmentation et une hétérogénéité analogues à celles que présente le domaine italo-roman. Inutile de dire dans ces conditions qu’il est impossible de rendre compte – même en ayant à sa disposition plus d’espace qu’à l’accoutumée – d’une telle diversité et d’une telle variété ; il va sans dire aussi qu’un article de synthèse ne peut que décevoir le lecteur désireux d’y trouver une description exhaustive des caractéristiques de tel ou tel dialecte.

Introduction In recent years, there has been much published on the topic of subject clitic pronouns in the northern Italian dialects. Most of these studies have focused on either the phonology or the syntax of these structures from a cross-linguistic perspective in an attempt to establish the range of variation and to formulate empirical generalizations in this area of great microvariation.1 *.

Abstracts English While existing theories of romance (in particular, those formulated by Northrop Frye and Fredric Jameson) accurately characterize this literary mode as a highly politicized example of art, this thesis contends that the political nature of romance is broader and more complex than discussed so far. In order to offer a new and comprehensive political theory of romance, this work proposes a comparison between two historically and culturally diverse examples of romance, that is Matteo Maria Boiardo’s chivalric poem Inamoramento de Orlando and George Lucas’ space opera film Star Wars.

    Laura Bafile. Syncope, Epenthesis and Syllable Structure

    SYNCOPE, EPENTHESIS AND SYLLABLE STRUCTURE: THE CASE OF SOME ITALIAN DIALECTS Laura BAFILE 1. Introduction Most Northern and Southern Italian dialects, differing from Standard Italian for what concernes prosodic structure, show among other features the weakness of unstressed nuclei. However, while in Southern dialects nuclear weakening typically results in the centralisation or in the raising of mid vowels, in most Northern dialects unstressed nuclei have often undergone the complete loss of their segmental content. Word-final vowel deletion, a process we also observe in other Romance languages, is widespread in most Northern dialects, (excluding varieties of Veneto and Liguria), while only some dialects of Piedmont and Emilia-Romagna also show the deletion of non-final unstressed vowels. Given that final /a/ has been usually preserved, the deletion of final vowels results in a typical pattern of alternation between forms ending with a consonant and forms ending with /a/ (in (1) Standard Italian (SI) corresponding forms are also reported for comparison): (1) ‘cat (m.)’ ‘she-cat (f.)’ SI gatto / gatta ‘beautiful (m.)’ ‘beautiful (f.)’ SI bello / bella The loss of final vowels produces in some words consonant sequences in final position. However, most Northern dialects only permit some kind of final clusters, and some do not permit final clusters at all. Therefore, different strategies are followed in order to avoid violation of phonotactic requirements. Few varieties, especially in the region of Friuli, show the solution of cluster reduction (see 2a), which usually regards sonorant+sonorant sequences. The insertion of a non- etymological vowel at the end of the word is typical of Southern Romagna and Northern Marche (the example in 2b refers to the dialect of Urbino).

For a mapping of the languages/dialects of Italy and regional varieties of Italian Introduction Unifi ed late, Italy is well-known for its great linguistic diversity. This diversity has been thoroughly covered by linguistic atlases such as the Italian-Swiss Atlas (Jaberg / Jud 1928-1940), the Italian Linguistic Atlas (Bartoli et al. 1995), or the linguistic atlases of the Dolomites (Goebl 2003, 2012), Sicily (Sottile 2018), Calabria (Krefeld 2019) and the Piedmont mountains (Cugno / Cusan 2019), for which projects have undertaken to digitise a portion of the material (Tisato 2010) 1 . In other countries, too, various projects have aimed to make the dialect data collected in the 20th century more widely accessible: in France (Goebl 2002; Oliviéri et al.
