Abstract:
In many European languages the National Standard Variety is converging with
spoken, informal, and socially marked varieties. In Italian this process is
giving rise to a new standard variety called Neo-standard Italian, which
partly consists of regional features.
This book contributes to current research on standardization in Europe by
offering a comprehensive overview of the re-standardization dynamics in
Italian. Each chapter investigates a specific dynamic shaping the emergence of
Neo-standard Italian and Regional Standard Varieties, such as the acceptance
of previously non-standard features, the reception of Old Italian features
excluded from the standard variety, the changing standard language ideology,
the retention of features from Italo-Romance dialects, the standardization of
patterns borrowed from English, and the developmental tendencies of standard
Italian in Switzerland. The contributions investigate phonetic/phonological,
prosodic, morphosyntactic, and lexical phenomena, addressed by several
empirical methodologies and theoretical vantage points.
This work is of interest to scholars and students working on language
variation and change, especially those focusing on standard languages and
standardization dynamics.
