Download or read book Balkan and South Slavic Enclaves in Italy written by Thede Kahl and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-07-26 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a collection of new writings dealing with some of the Balkan linguistic varieties spoken in north-eastern, central and southern Italy. It brings together twenty-two papers, some of which investigate the mutual influences between each of these Balkan and South Slavic language varieties and their neighbouring Italian dialects. Other contributions study common tendencies which do not just pertain to local contacts, but which are of greater significance for the history of linguistic and cultural contacts in Italy. All of the chapters here present new empirical findings and reflect the breadth and diversity of current research in the fields of areal linguistics, language variation, Balkan dialectology, language contact, types of Balkan convergences, types of structure transfers, the borrowing of structural patterns, and directions of grammaticalisation.

Download or read book Italy and the Balkans written by liMes (Rivista italiana di geopolitica) and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What is the role Italy is playing in the Balkans?" This volume, published in collaboration with liMes, Rivista Italiana di Geopolitica, revolves around this question. The goal: to give English-speaking readers an authoritative and original picture of the Italian geopolitical scene, both international and domestic. This goal will be pursued without departing from the distinct style of the Italian version of liMes: an open mind toward any viewpoint and a focus on specific issues rather than on theories purporting to explain the world with a single formula. In this way CSIS and liMes hope to contribute to the creation of a transatlantic geopolitical forum and to a better understanding, both in the United States and in the international community, of Italy's role in the post-Cold War world.

Download or read book Structuring Variation in Romance Linguistics and Beyond written by Mirko Grimaldi and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2018-12-15 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current theoretical approaches to language devote great attention to macro- and micro-variation and show an ever-increasing interest in minority languages. In this respect, few empirical domains are as rich and lively as the Italo-Romance languages, which together with Albanian were the main research domain of Leonardo M. Savoia. The volume covers areas as different as phonology, morphology, syntax and the lexicon. A broad range of Romance languages is considered, as well as Albanian, Greek and Hungarian, shedding new light on many classical topics. The first section focuses on morphosyntax, both in the narrow sense and with regard to its interfaces. The second section focuses on clitics and pronouns. The third section deals with a number of issues in phonology and syntax-phonology interface. The last section turns the reader’s attention beyond formal linguistics itself and examines variation in the light of neurosciences, pathology, historical linguistics and political discourse.
Download or read book Clausal Complementation in South Slavic written by Björn Wiemer and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-11-08 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume assembles contributions addressing clausal complementation across the entire South Slavic territory. The main focus is on particular aspects of complementation, covering the contemporary standard languages as well as older stages and/or non-standard varieties and the impact of language contact, primarily with non-Slavic languages. Presenting in-depth studies, they thus contribute to the overarching collective aim of arriving at a comprehensive picture of the patterns of clausal complementation on which South Slavic languages profile against a wider typological background, but also diverge internally if we look closer at details in the contemporary stage and in diachronic development. The volume divides into an introduction setting the stage for the single case-studies, an article developing a general template of complementation with a detailed overview of the components relevant for South Slavic, studies addressing particular structural phenomena from different theoretical viewpoints, and articles focusing on variation in space and/or time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Language Contact provides an overview of the state of the art of current research in contact linguistics. Presenting contact linguistics as an established field of investigation in its own right and featuring 26 chapters, this handbook brings together a broad range of approaches to contact linguistics, including: experimental and observational approaches and formal theories; a focus on social and cognitive factors that impact the outcome of language contact situations and bilingual language processing; the emergence of new languages and speech varieties in contact situations, and contact linguistic phenomena in urban speech and linguistic landscapes. With contributions from an international range of leading and emerging scholars in their fields, the four sections of this text deal with methodological and theoretical approaches, the factors that condition and shape language contact, the impact of language contact on individuals, and language change, repertoires and formation. This handbook is an essential reference for anyone with an interest in language contact in particular regions of the world, including Anatolia, Eastern Polynesia, the Balkans, Asia, Melanesia, North America, and West Africa.
