Abstract:

This book offers a detailed account of the impact that contact with the
English language has had on Italian language and society. The first chapter
places the Italian case within the current sociolinguistic and language policy
debates on the spread of English as a global language. The following chapters
focus on how English influences have contributed to the historical development
of certain grammatical structures of the Italian language, from phonology to
word-formation and syntax.

Finally, Chapter 5 turns to lexical influence in order to assess the specific
contribution of American English, as opposed to other varieties of English.
The book as a whole shows how the impact of English on the history of the
Italian language is linked to the social stratifications and hierarchies of
prestige and power within the community that uses Italian, and how these
hierarchies and stratifications are in turn affected by the spread of English.
