Abstract:

This monograph investigates final vowel elision in spoken Italian. 
Specifically, the book sheds light on the functioning and the constraining 
factors of final vowel elision in sequences of vowel-final determiners followed 
by vowel-initial nouns and in sequences of vowel-final proclitics followed by 
vowel-initial lexical verbs. The analysis is based on "real" language, that is 
on corpus and elicited data as well as on their pooled results. The 
quantitative data are analyzed statistically in order to identify the factors 
which constrain final vowel elision (i.e. function word class, the morphological 
category of number realized by the final elidable vowel, and speech style). 
The representation of final vowel elision in determiners and proclitics 
proposed in this monograph relies on four theoretical constructs and on their 
interaction, i.e pre-compiled phrasal allomorphy, dominant allomorphs, 
lexically encoded selectional preferences among allomorphs, and prosodic 
rules. 

Contents: Final elision in spontaneous speech - Final elision in elicited 
speech - Final elision: evidence from spontaneous and elicited speech - The 
lexical representation of determiners and proclitics targeted by final elision - 
Representation of final elision.

child first language acquisition, and cognitive neurosciences. She is currently 
working on the neurophysiological correlates of Italian vowel and consonant 
perception by pediatric cochlear implant users.
