Mutuazione: 20710150 LINGUISTICA ITALIANA - LM in Italianistica LM-14 CONSALES ILDE

Programme

The history of our language can also be read and studied through the grammars that, over time, have described and codified it, and which mirror the particular historical moments in which they were written. The module deals with the birth of Italian grammaticography and its evolution into diachrony, focusing on the main temporal joints and on the most important works: from the fifteenth-century Grammatoncino of the Tuscan language by Leon Battista Alberti to the most important grammars of our time.
