Italian and Italo-Romance dialects
International Journal of the Sociology of Language, 2011The relative status of dialects and Italian and the different patterns of language use have given rise to potentially different speech communities within the larger Italo-Romance domain. Such communities are mainly determined by the dimensions of geographical, social and age variation.

2021This book proposes a new solution to the long-standing puzzle of auxiliary selection in Romance languages, in particular Italian. The following questions are addressed: why the perfect auxiliary appears in the two forms be and have within a single language, what drives this distribution, and how cross-linguistic data can be accounted for.

Central-Southern Italo-Romance
2022Although respective Central (= CIDs) and Southern (= SIDs) Italo-Romance dialects display peculiar linguistic features, they also share a substantial number of common isoglosses such that they can be classified as two subdivisions of the same geolinguistic unit.

This chapter provides a detailed account of the word order properties of Old Sicilian and Old Venetian. It shows that the two Old Italo-Romance varieties have much in common, namely a preverbal field not specialized for subjects, a dominant V2 order, two types of V2-related inversion, and matrix/embedded asymmetries.

Abstract The impact of vowel nasalization in Halo-Romance has been varied. In the standard language and in non-standard varieties of the centre and south, vowel evolution has scarcely been influenced at all by the effect of nasality. However, a very different picture presents itself in northern dialects.

The TORNARE-periphrasis in Italo-Romance
2022This chapter examines verbal periphrases involving the originally transitive Latin verb TORNARE ‘turn’ in Italo-Romance. The emergence in late Latin of intransitive uses of TORNARE as a verb of motion meaning ‘return, go back’ prepared the way for early Romance collocations with an infinitive, ‘go back to doing’.

Mixed paradigms in Italo-Romance
2019Abstract This paper advocates a morphological approach to the phenomenon of mixed paradigms attested in a wide range of Italo-Romance varieties (cf. Loporcaro 2001, 2007, 2014; Manzini and Savoia 2005, among others). In these varieties, two auxiliary verbs, habere and esse, alternate within one and the same paradigm.

Periphrases and irregular paradigms in Italo-Romance
2022Morphomes constitute autonomous distributional patterns that are purely morphological and internal to the morphological component. These patterns often originate as the accidental product of sound change but are subsequently preserved and replicated in diachrony in a way that suggests that they have become cognitive templates or abstract ...
