Abstract

Abstract This article contributes to the historical study of intercomprehension between speakers of closely related languages by focusing on Italy in the period up to the mid-fifteenth century. After an introduction to the topic, the second section will be devoted to methodological questions, including certain differences between research based on experimental testing and research based on historical evidence. The third section of the article reports opinions by medieval speakers about the intelligibility of different Italo-Romance varieties, and then compares them to opinions about genealogically and/or geographically more distant languages. While the dominant view among experts on Italy’s linguistic history is that speakers were trapped within mutually unintelligible vernaculars, this review of the extant evidence suggests a greater degree of intercomprehension than is usually supposed.
关于中世纪晚期意大利语言可理解性的看法
摘要本文以15世纪中叶以前的意大利为研究对象,对密切相关语言使用者之间的相互理解进行了历史研究。在介绍了这个主题之后,第二部分将致力于方法论问题,包括基于实验测试的研究和基于历史证据的研究之间的某些差异。文章的第三部分报告了中世纪讲话者对不同意大利-罗曼语变体的可理解性的看法,然后将其与系谱和/或地理上更遥远的语言的观点进行比较。虽然专家们对意大利语言历史的主流观点是,说话者被困在彼此无法理解的方言中,但对现有证据的回顾表明,意大利人的相互理解程度比通常认为的要高。
