D'ACHILLE PAOLO
(syllabus)
The course aims to present the lexicon of Italian in its formative stages, starting with Vulgar Latin, and in its development down to the present. It will introduce the principal tools and methods of lexical analysis, focussing on issues of dating. The following will be considered in detail: allotropes (i.e. different words deriving from the same Latin base); dialectal and regional words, examined also in connection with the corresponding Tuscan forms; deonymics (i.e. words derived from proper names); colour terms; loan-words (whether integrated or not); archaic forms and neologisms. At the end of the course the students will have the tools to reconstruct the history and use of either individual words or sets of lexical items of Italian.
