Models of language variation and change: Reggio Emilia

The research unit based in Reggio Emilia is implementing the PCM on the analysis of microvariation and parametric contact.

We explore the internal structure of the nominal domain in two major dialectal domains: Romance and Greek.

In particular, we focus on:


- contact between the two groups in Southern Italy


- the dialectal structure and classification of the Romance dialects of Italy 


- dialectal variation across Greek dialects in other areas of the Greek-speaking world

The researchers currently involved in the project are Cristina Guardiano, Vincenzo Stalfieri, Andrea Ceolin, Monica Irimia and Michela Cambria.
