Dialetti in Italia
About this Course
Il corso introduce a temi, nozioni e problemi della Dialettologia italiana, considerata in prospettiva geografico-sincronica e in prospettiva diacronica. In questa trattazione, per la parte esemplificativa e applicativa, si terrà conto in modo particolare della storia e dell'uso del Napoletano, considerato nel quadro generale dell'area linguistica italiana, in relazione alla derivazione dal latino, ai rapporti storici con l'italiano e con le altre varietà locali. Il corso, che è una introduzione ai contenuti e ai metodi della Dialettologia italiana, non ha l'obiettivo di insegnare a parlare i dialetti, né quello di fissarne la norma. The course introduces topics, notions and issues related to Italian dialectology from geographic distribution to synchronic and diachronic variation. The course adopts a theoretical as well as practical approach to explore dialects, especially southern Italian dialects, within the framework of Italian linguistics, their history and use, their evolution from Latin and their relationship with the Italian language as well as other local varieties. The course serves as an introduction to the content and method of the degree course in Italian Dialectology, and in no way aims to teach you the rules of the Neapolitan dialect, nor how to speak it.Created by: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
