  • 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

    SONORANT RELATIONSHIPS IN TWO VARIETIES OF SARDINIAN by Chiara Frigeni A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Linguistics University of Toronto Copyright c 2009 by Chiara Frigeni Abstract Sonorant relationships in two varieties of Sardinian Chiara Frigeni Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Linguistics University of Toronto 2009 Phonological interactions among sonorant sounds, and between sonorants and obstruents, are widespread in Romance languages. In this dissertation, I examine in detail such interactions in two dialects of Sardinian (Italo-Romance), Campidanese and Nuorese, showing that sonorant relationships differentiate the synchronic grammars of these dialects. The synchronic patterning of nasals and liquids, and how these two sonorant subclasses interact with obstruents, is significantly different between the two dialects. In particular, nasals trigger phonological nasalization of vowels and of the rhotic in Campidanese but not in Nuorese. The arguments for a phonological analysis of vowel nasalization in Campidanese are reviewed, expanded, and tested against an acoustic study. The historical traces of interac- tion between /n/ and /r/ in this dialect are linked to the synchronic rhotic nasalization process highlighted by an acoustic study of fieldwork data. In Nuorese, on the other hand, /n/ does not initiate phonological nasalization either of vowels or of the rhotic, and it is the target of total assimilation when followed by any segments but an oral stop. Nasals in the two dialects thus pattern in two very different ways phonologically: nasals are process triggers in Campidanese and process targets in Nuorese. The rhotic also shows distinct patterns in the two dialects, interacting with /n/ in Campidanese and with /s/ in Nuorese.

  • Some Fundamentals of Romance Linguistics with Regard to Sardinian
    Open Access Library Journal Some Fundamentals of Romance Linguistics with Regard to Sardinian Jordi Crespo Saumell Università degli Studi di Cagliari, Cagliari, Italia Email: [email protected] Received 3 June 2015; accepted 20 June 2015; published 26 June 2015 Copyright © 2015 by author and OALib. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract When it comes to consider the vast space that Latin and the Romance languages occupy, geogra- phical, temporal, and social dimensions pop up at least as unavoidable. In coming to grips with the evolution of the vulgar Latin into their extant reflexes, there is also unanimous agreement in regarding vowel quantity, syllable boundaries, and syllable weight as the three main concepts ac- counting for the progressive stages and the final aspect of the neo-Latin languages today. In reas- suming such a theoretical frame, this paper is more particularly intended to give a picture of these features when applied to Sardinian. Its insular development beside the controversy on its alleged non Indo-European origin, the conservative forms the Sardinian took with regard to Latin, or the deep imprint the diverse linguistic superstrata exerted upon it are all these traits that, doubtlessly, contribute to making of the Sardinian a unique Romance standing for its own place in the scene of the minority languages. Keywords Romance Linguistics, Sardinian, Substratum, Latin Enculturation, Law of the Quantitative Collapse, Metaphonism, Superstratum, Catalan, Diglossia Subject Areas: Literature, Sociology 1. Introduction: Theoretical Frame and Methodological Remarks From a methodological point of view the linguistic theory seems to be able to explain the blank between the vulgar Latin and the Neo-Latin languages in a successful and convincing way, since it is possible to expound in reasoned and systematic terms the mechanisms accounting for the medial steps from the vulgar Latin to a Rom- ance language whatsoever.

  • Bitonal Pitch Accent and Phonological Alignment in Sardinian
    DOI 10.1515/probus-2013-0013 Probus 2013; 25(2): 267 – 300 Miran Kim and Lori Repetti Bitonal pitch accent and phonological alignment in Sardinian Abstract: This study presents new data on pitch accent alignment in Sardinian, a Romance language spoken in Italy. We propose that what has been described as “stress shift” in encliticization processes is not a change in the word level stress, but variation in the association of the pitch accent. Our claim is that word level stress remains in situ, and the falling tune which our data exhibit can be inter- preted as a bitonal pitch accent (HL*) associated with the entire verb + enclitic unit: the starred tone is associated with the rightmost metrically prominent syl- lable, and the leading tone is associated with the word-level stressed syllable. The research questions we address are twofold: (i) how are the landing sites of the two tonal targets phonetically identified; (ii) how are the phonetic facts reconciled with prosodic structure. Keywords: Sardinian, bitonal pitch accent, tonal alignment, stress shift, stress placement Miran Kim: Department of English Language & Literature, Hanyang University; Research Institute for Language & Information, Korea University, Seoul, Korea.

  • Arrègulas: Oral Poetry and Minority Language Standardisation*
    Quaderni di Linguistica e Studi Orientali / Working Papers in Linguistics and Oriental Studies n. 5 (2019), pp. 477-495 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.13128/QULSO-2421-7220-25978 Arrègulas: Oral Poetry and Minority Language Standardisation* Rosangela Lai Georg-August-Universität Göttingen (<[email protected]>) Abstract: Arrègulas is a proposal for the standardisation of Campidanese Sardin- ian approved by the Province of Cagliari, in 2009. It began as a reac- tion to the promotion by the Autonomous Region of Sardinia of one Logudorese-based standard language (Limba Sarda Comuna) to be used across the whole of Sardinia. What is peculiar about Arrègulas is that it is modelled after the koiné language employed by cantadoris, who are extemporaneous poets with a strong following in the Campidanese area. This koiné can be described as a form of Southern Campidanese deprived of its most marked features. The Arrègulas proposal gives this oral language a standard orthography with a comparatively straightfor- ward phoneme-grapheme correspondence. All things considered, the standard has potential for a higher degree of acceptability with respect to Limba Sarda Comuna in the Campidanese area, both among proficient native speakers and among the many heritage speakers of Sardinian. Keywords: Arrègulas, minority language education, oral poetry, Sardin- ian, Standard Campidanese 1. Introduction A standardization effort of a minority language is met with all the ob- stacles and challenges intrinsic to standardization in itself, plus the extra difficulties that come with dealing with so vulnerable a thing as a minority language.

  • Stress Shift Under Cliticization in Nuorese Sardinian
    Quaderni di Linguistica e Studi Orientali / Working Papers in Linguistics and Oriental Studies n. 3 (2017), pp. 183-199 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.13128/QULSO-2421-7220-21344 Stress shift under cliticization in Nuorese Sardinian Rosangela Lai Università degli Studi di Firenze (<[email protected]>) Abstract: In most Romance languages clitics are stress neutral: when they at- tach to a host, they have no effect on stress placement: this is the case of Italian and Spanish. However, a small group of Romance languages is exceptional in this respect, e.g., Neapolitan and some Catalan, Occitan and Lucanian varieties. Sardinian is among them. Sardinian varieties display stress shift under cliticization in the im- perative and gerund forms. Differences can be found across these varieties with respect to stress placement (Lai 2016). Here we will focus on the behaviour of Nuorese Sardinian, a variety from the central-northern area of the island of Sardinia. We will show that Sardinian varieties are unique in the Romance domain because they display stress shift not only with enclitics but also with proclitics. This is evidence for the proposal that Sardinian clitic clusters (both in enclisis and proclisis) constitute a prosodic word of their own. Keywords: Clitics, Metaphony, Sardinian, Stress Shift 1. Introduction* 1.1 Stress shift with clitics in the Romance languages: an overview Following the classification in Spencer and Luís (2012), Romance lan- guages behave in two ways with respect to stress placement with clitics. * I am grateful to Laura Bafile and Leonardo M.
