Abstract:

This study presents a thorough grammatical description of one of the
less well-known languages spoken on the Italian peninsula – Abruzzese,
specifically the variety spoken in Vasto, in the province of Chieti,
known as Uâʃtaréule among its native speakers. Included in the study
is a detailed analysis of the variety’s syntax, which is the component
of grammar that researchers have traditionally studied the least when
examining the Latin- derived, non-Italian languages spoken on the
peninsula. The study also provides a careful description of the
variety’s sound system, its morphology, its extensive linguistic
variation along multiple dimensions, and the significant language
contact phenomena that have influenced its grammar as well as the
grammar of the regional Italian spoken in the area. Finally, it
explains in accessible terms for the local language community  the
true character and value of its linguistic patrimony and suggests
possible options for ensuring the viability of the variety going
forward.
