ITALIAN LINGUISTICS

The Atlante Grammaticale della Lingua Italiana delle Origini (AGLIO) and the Vocabolario storico-etimologico del Veneziano (VEV) stand as pivotal resources for Italian linguistics, meticulously crafted by Salvatore Arcidiacono utilizing the innovative LexiCad© system.   

The Atlante Grammaticale della Lingua Italiana delle Origini (AGLIO), initiated by Salvatore Arcidiacono in 2015, transforms an ingenious concept envisioned by Marcello Barbato, the project director at the University of Naples "L'Orientale," into computational reality. This groundbreaking application aims to make available the OVI database for research in phonology and historical morphology, particularly focusing on the sub-corpus comprising significant texts (TS). These texts are not only philologically accurate but also emblematic of specific varieties. A continually evolving project, AGLIO caters to the needs of both philologists and linguists. Philologists can utilize AGLIO as a grid for dating and localizing their texts, while linguists can attempt to reconstruct the (sub)system of a particular variety or explore the relationships between varieties over time and space (​for further information see here). AGLIO also provides insights into the spatial distribution of a form or lemma, complementing the TLIO CORPUS for vocabulary and the TLIO itself.   

The Vocabolario storico-etimologico del Veneziano (VEV) seeks to integrate the primary vocabularies of Venetian with the Venetian sub-corpus prepared at the OVI to function within TLIO (CORPUS VEV). The overarching goal is to comprehensively and reliably reconstruct the linguistic structure of Venetian. Published online and in convenient thematic volumes by the Venetian publishing house Lineadacqua, the VEV, under the direction of Luca D’Onghia (University of Siena) and Lorenzo Tomasin (Université de Lausanne / Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa), represents a crucial endeavor. After the release of the volume Una centuria di voci edited by L. Tomasin, L. D'Onghia, F. Panontin in 2020, the second volume, edited by Francesca Panontin, focuses on Ingiurie, improperi, contumelie (Insults, Imprecations, and Offenses) in 2021.
