Crescenzo Del Monte, jodìo romano: A Jewish-Roman Poet and Linguist in Fascist Italy
The poetry and socio-linguistic scholarship of Crescenzo Del Monte (Rome, 1868-1935) represent an important contribution to the understanding and preservation of Giudaico-Romanesco, the dialect of the Jews of Rome. Del Monte's assertion that Giudaico-Romanesco represents the closest living descendent of the spoken language of Ancient Rome and the medieval Italian vernacular of Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio, came into irreconcilable conflict with the anti-Semitic, xenophobic, and dialectophobic policies of the regime as the Fascists took control of Italy and exercised ever stricter control over cultural production. Del Monte's work remains fundamental to an understanding of the culture and language of the Jews of Rome in the decades leading up to and following their political emancipation.

Manuale di linguistica italiana
Questo Manuale di linguistica italiana intende fornire un quadro d'insieme aggiornato (in particolare post 1988) sulla lingua italiana e anche dare conto di ricerche e ambiti maggiormente esplorati negli ultimi venti anni come, in diacronia, le scriptae italo-romanze, l'italiano fuori d'Italia (dal Medioevo a oggi), le varietà d'italiano nel passato, la sintassi dell'italiano antico.
Il volume è suddiviso in tre sezioni: l'italiano nella storia; l'italiano contemporaneo; i luoghi della codificazione / le questioni / gli sviluppi recenti della ricerca. Nella seconda sezione un capitolo sull'italiano di oggi illustra i tratti più significativi della lingua che cambia (a sé è trattata la morfologia con la formazione delle parole), mentre molto articolata è la parte dedicata all'italiano variazionale la cui architettura è più complessa rispetto a pochi decenni fa dato il quadro sociolinguistico notevolmente mutato e l'influsso significativo dei media anche sui fatti di lingua. Alcuni settori hanno avuto inoltre un incremento notevole di studio: la pragmatica, la linguistica testuale, la linguistica dei corpora, come del resto anche la didattica dell'italiano, che si è consolidata anche nella prospettiva della L2 grazie a importanti studi di linguistica acquisizionale.

The Linguistic Landscape of the Mediterranean : French and Italian coastal cities
\"This book explores the Linguistic Landscapes of ten French and Italian Mediterranean coastal cities, analysing the ways in which the public space is managed by different individuals and groups for a range of purposes. Engaging with scholarship on border studies, insularity, peripherality, cosmopolitanism, and social representations, Blackwood and Tufi test the ways in which research beyond sociolinguistics can meaningfully inform Linguistic Landscape studies. The authors privilege four specific perspectives, namely the visibility of national languages, the claiming of space for regional languages and dialects, the creation of transnational spaces for migrant languages, and the role of English in cosmopolitan place-making. Drawing on their own data from along the Mediterranean shoreline, Blackwood and Tufi provide the first in-depth and cross-referenced examination of written language use in the public space in Perpignan, Trieste, Nice, Monaco, Genoa, Palermo, Cagliari, Ajaccio, Marseilles, and Naples\"-- Provided by publisher.

Giovanni Battista Raimondi's Travel in the Middle East: A Case of Sixteenth-Century Portuguese-Italian Interference
The paper publishes the inedited document Miscellanea Medicea 719, ins. 56, n. 1 of Florence State Archive, containing the account of a journey by land from Hormuz to Venice, dated to 1575, preceded by a brief critical introduction. 19th century Italian historiography has attributed the account to Giovanni Battista Raimondi (1536 ca.-1614), scientific director of the Typographia Medicea (Rome 1584). Raimondi has been considered also as the author of the travel, describing his experience in the first person (plural). This paper argues, on linguistic and text-critical grounds, that Raimondi did not make such a travel, nor did he compose the account, but merely copied the document in the context of the preparation of a mission to Egypt and Persia of Giovanni Battista Vecchietti, who left to Alexandria in 1584, as a papal envoy.

The Language of Power: Casini and Bancheri's In-Depth Analysis of Italian in Immigration and Global Contexts
This review article looks at a groundbreaking book in sociolinguistics by Simone Casini and Salvatore Bancheri, What Is the Language of Power? Theoretical Reflections on Italian, Italiese and Other Languages, which focuses on the forms and uses of Italian in immigrant communities, as well as the role of the Italian language in the global village in which we now reside. Based on research conducted on the kind of Italian that takes shape in immigrant communities, called “Italiese,” one of the main insights that can be gleaned from this penetrating book is that the language that emerges in immigrant communities is a product of creative mechanisms, enlisted unconsciously to render the native language (or dialect) adapted to solving everyday communicative problems that pertain to the new environment socially and conceptually. By making the English input conform to the native language, structurally and semantically, the result is a code that allows for direct access to the new reality on its own terms. The book also relates the ways in which Italiese is constructed and employed to the history of Italian itself, ending with a broad examination of the roles that the language should be playing in an international context today. As such, it provides an expansive theoretical framework for assessing the factors that contribute to making a language, such as Italian, an instrument of control over any environment, real or virtual—hence, a “language of power.”

Reflexões sobre os 40 anos de estudos italianos: por uma educação linguística democrática
O artigo apresenta as “Dez teses por uma Educação Linguística Democrática”, documento elaborado na década de 1970 por linguistas italianos com foco no ensino de língua italiana em contexto de mudança, e repercussões desse documento que completa quarenta anos. A ação que resultou nas “Dez teses” está vinculada ao Giscel (Grupo de Intervenção e Estudo no Campo da Educação Linguística [Gruppo di Intervento e Studio nel Campo dell’Educazione Linguistica]), que concentra pesquisas em educação linguística no país. Neste artigo, faz-se o resgate da publicação das teses, o levantamento de estudos que analisam as repercussões do documento e das novas propostas para o ensino de língua em uma Itália com “novos italianos”. Analisadas em sua essência, as “dez teses” podem contribuir com os estudos brasileiros em busca de uma educação linguística que seja, efetivamente, democrática.Palavras-chave: Educação linguística, linguística italiana, ensino de língua.

Einführung in die italienische Sprachwissenschaft
Dieses in zweiter Auflage überarbeitete und aktualisierte Arbeitsheft stellt ein einführendes Panorama der italienischen Sprachwissenschaft dar. Dabei richtet es sich nicht nur an Studierende der Italianistik, sondern auch an Studierende anderer Disziplinen. Neben den Methoden der modernen Linguistik und ihrer Darstellung anhand italienischer Beispiele werden auch Aspekte der Wissenschaftsgeschichte behandelt. Diese betreffen sowohl die italienische Rezeption moderner linguistischer Methoden, als auch die Beschäftigung mit sprachwissenschaftlich relevanten Themen in vorwissenschaftlicher Zeit in Italien, d.h. von den Sprachbetrachtungen Dantes über die im Rahmen der Questione della lingua entstandenen Schriften des 15. bis 17. Jahrhunderts bis zu den sprachphilosophischen und kulturhistorischen Traktaten des 18. Jahrhunderts. Im Rahmen der Teilgebiete werden die Entwicklungslinien von der antiken Sprachphilosophie bis zur modernen Linguistik nachgezeichnet. In 12 Kapiteln behandelt das Arbeitsheft Wissenschaftsgeschichte, Sprachgeschichte, Phonetik und Phonologie, Grammatiktheorie und Grammatikographie, Morphologie, Syntax, Semantik, Pragmatik, Textlinguistik, Dialektologie, Soziolinguistik sowie Lexikographie. Die zentralen Fachtermini werden durchweg in italienischer Übersetzung angegeben.
