Abstract

This paper provides a historical overview and a critical analysis of Italian dialect classifications. After various empirically-based classifications proposed since the 14 th century, five scientific classifications were formulated. Ascoli (1882/1885) adopted a genealogical classification, arranging Italian dialects in three macrogroups (Gallo-Italic dialects and Sardinian; Venetian, dialects of central Italy, southern dialects and Corsican; Tuscan). This distribution, with some adjustments regarding the position of Veneto, Sardinian and Corsican dialects, also returns in Merlo’s ethnic classification (1924; 1933), that underlines the effects of substrates. Rohlfs (1937) proposes a similar three-part classification using a geolinguistic approach based on the areal diffusion of eighteen linguistic phenomena. Devoto’s proposal (1970) follows a quantitative model, by measuring the structural affinity between eleven dialectal systems. Pellegrini’s classification (1973, 1977), accepted by most contemporary scholars, is based on the contextual application of sociolinguistic and geolinguistic criteria. He subdivides Italian dialects in five systems (northern dialects, Friulian, Tuscan, central-south dialects, Sardinian), each of which is further divided into subsections.

意大利语方言分类

本文提供了意大利方言分类的历史概况和批判性分析。自14世纪以来，经过各种基于经验的分类，形成了五种科学分类。阿斯科利(1882/1885)采用了一种系谱分类，将意大利方言分为三个大类(高卢-斜体方言和撒丁语;威尼斯语、意大利中部方言、南部方言和科西嘉语;托斯卡纳)。这种分布，对威尼托、撒丁岛和科西嘉方言的位置进行了一些调整，也出现在Merlo的种族分类中(1924;1933)，强调了底物的影响。Rohlfs(1937)基于18种语言现象的区域扩散，采用地理语言学方法提出了类似的三部分分类。Devoto的建议(1970)遵循定量模型，通过测量11种方言系统之间的结构亲和力。Pellegrini的分类(1973,1977)被大多数当代学者所接受，是基于社会语言学和地理语言学标准的语境应用。他将意大利方言细分为五个系统(北部方言，弗留利语，托斯卡纳语，中南部方言，撒丁语)，每个系统又进一步细分为子部分。

期刊介绍： The aim of the journal DIALECTOLOGIA is to join the experiences of researchers working in different fields of Dialectology (linguistic variation, geolinguistics, methodology, synchronic and diachronic dialectal data, new technologies, social dialectology, etc). -It is a double-blind external peer-reviewed journal, published twice yearly, that complies with the norms of the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT). -Each issue features 4/6 previously unpublished articles on original topics relating to linguistic variation. -It includes also book reviews and news about congresses, meetings and recent publications. -Original papers will be evaluated within a period of three months. -The journal does not charge fees to authors either for processing (APC) or for the publication of articles. -The author will remain owner of the intellectual property of the works, however access to them is totally open and free, so they can be reproduced in whole or in part with the only limitation of recognizing the authorship and the source of publication ("Dialectologia. Revista electrònica"), provided that such exploitation is not of a commercial nature.
